Leroi vs the Woodsman

"Before them stood the strangest cottage that David had ever seen... its silhouette against the night sky was like that of a hedgehog, for it was covered in spikes of wood and metal...This was not a cottage: this was a fortress. They passed through the fence and were approaching the safety of the house when a form appeared from behind its walls and advanced toward them...other similar creatures were now emerging from the forest... They were smaller and stayed on all fours, and looked savage and unthinking to David. It was the ones who bore traces of men upon them that frightened David the most".
