#very fitting for muir to repeatedly reference poe since he is a foundational figure in the Haunting Dead Wife subgenre of gothic poetry

[twink-with-an-agenda]

I don't think I've ever seen this connection drawn, but I'm pretty damn sure the Ninth House prayer references The Sleeper by Edgar Allan Poe - wouldn't be surprised at all, since Muir already explicitly references another poem of his, Annabel Lee.

All of The Sleeper has heavy Alecto vibes, but this stanza stood out to me in particular.
