Hm!
Could this be the scarecrow mentioned in "Shadow At the Bottom of the World"?

Re: Hm!
Michael, this is genuinely creepy. It almost made me jump when I opened this thread.

Re: Hm!
"It was something black and twisted into the form of a man, something that seemed to have come up from the earth and grown over the wooden planks like a dark fungus, consuming the structure. There were now black legs that hung as if charred and withered; there was a head that sagged like a sack of ashes upon a meager body of blackness; and there were thin arms stretched out like knobby branches from a lightning-scorched tree. All of this was supported by a thick dark stalk which rose out of the earth and reached into the effigy like a hand into a puppet."

Re: Hm!
Good grief, that is one creepy creep creepy thing! It DOES look distinctly Ligottian: the elongated hands, especially. A true nightmare of the organism. Well found!

Re: Hm!
