It's good to be informed. Plus Karen likes macabre stories. Very upsetting though, but then, if you only read stuff that didn't upset you, you'd be left with romance novels and fairy tales and stories about rabbits visiting teddy bears for tea, now wouldn't you?
Edit: also, they were recs for WWWP, who asked for such fare.

It's whimsical and philosophical and there's something very sweet about it. It reminds me a little of Ray Bradbury. Anyway, I'm enjoying it. |
Wow! That takes me back. Tried to read that as a teenager but could not get into it.
