A game we had played during our last sit down that still finds a willing participant in Danielewski is the one about identifying what kind of kids his stories are. Danielewski said then that House of Leaves was a brash young boy and Only Revolutions was the misunderstood little girl. When asked about what kind of kid he thought The Fifty Year Sword has become, he was quick to answer, ‘He’s the little infidel, the little kid who’s going to do what he wants. He’s vicious. He’s Chucky.’ And The Familiar? He retreated into another pause, ‘Let’s just say even Chucky will run.’
