Good word- I read a lot of strange, weird and unearthly authors- I've heard it and read it and used it! Yo should read Ursilla LaGuin-her books definitely have and eldritch quality to them.
Never heard it. I like the sound of it.
Nope. Not 'til today. At least, I don't think so.... It sounds like a Tolkien-esque word, though, doesn't it?
