Man I love paratexts. Yessss tell me more about a piece of media that doesn’t exist and that I will never be able to consume in the ways the characters can.
you can make a real life Candle Cove but it won’t be the Candle Cove the creepypasta was about. you can make a real life Navidson Record but it won’t be the Navidson Record House of Leaves discusses. you can make a real life King in Yellow play but it won’t be the cursed King in Yellow play that messes with your head. you can make a real life Goncharov but it won’t be the Goncharov that could have existed.
