Thick woods, a road in disrepair, red skies, and demonic faeries devouring human corpses — could be upstate Michigan; but no, it’s the Autumn Court.

In my reading I have come across references to red as a magical color in the faerie realms, including descriptions of red skies or red-orange clouds. I don’t know what the red signifies, honestly. Some say wizards see it as a color of control, or that the Fae like to wear red caps and shirts, or that it might be the color of blood. Recent pulp fiction set in the Otherworld often describes skies filled with reddish clouds. For me I think it is a good visual cue that you are not in the human realm of experience with blue skies. You are somewhere else, and the laws of physics need not apply here.

Still, it is wise to get around the faerie realms in a sensible fuel-efficient car.
