Dancy Flammarion

Dancy Flammarion is a fictional character created by Caitlin R. Kiernan, an albino teenager from the backwoods of Florida who hunts monsters at the direction of a Lovecraftian angel. First appearing in the novel Threshold (Roc/New American Library, 2001), Dancy was subsequently featured in a series of short stories collected in the volumes Alabaster (Subterranean Press, 2006) and Comes a Pale Rider (Subterranean Press, 2020). She also appears in a number of graphic novels written by Kiernan.
==Inspiration==
In their notes for Threshold, on September 16, 1998, Kiernan mentions a “creepy little ‘Boo Radley’ albino girl”--their earliest reference to the character who became Dancy Flammarion.Alabaster, "Preface," Caitlin R. Kiernan (Subterranean Press, 2006). (Boo Radley is a reclusive, offputting, ultimately heroic character from Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird.Wikipedia, "List of To Kill a Mockingbird characters.") The name Dancy comes from a small town in Alabama,Wikipedia, "Dancy, Alabama." in Pickens County near the Mississippi state line, that Kiernan passed through while collecting Upper Cretaceous fossils in July or August 1998; "the name stuck in my head, as names often do," they later wrote.
