I collect iconic fictional characters, not as a fan you must appreciate, but much more resolutely, as a stalker, a kidnapper, a vulture, even a jackal, picking over their still warm, slightly alive, words and actions. Absorption is the ultimate goal, drink in every nuance, strange modulation, singular shade, the essence, marrow, quintessential meat, that makes their particular band of peculiarity unique.
There are so many excellent examples of monsters, for the hugest, overwhelming, to the most seemingly insignificant ever imaginable.
