atrabilious --- filled with black bile (from the Greek theory of humors), or melancholic
squelette is French for skeleton
The man wrote astrabilarious squelettes, so naturally I asked him if he meant melancholy skeletons. Dolt.

of what is dfw predicating - metaphorically, of course - the property 'skeleton' and in what sense does he also mean that these things are 'filled with black bile' or 'melancholic'? ... to refine OP's question.
