I just got the feeling that maybe a certain author feels that maybe a certain Being has left us to our own methods to burn in our oven. Sincerely, The Blaine Boy I didn’t think it was scary.

IMHO, Through the Cooking Glass was a lot better *and* more frightening. I don't know if it was supposed to be frightening, but it was. Twice I said to myself, "dude that's messed up!" It was the Baptist lady that creeped me out though, not the cookies. The cookies just seemed like good folk. I mean, if I were in the old lady's situation, I would be pretty spooked too, but I hope that I would be able to conquer my fears enough to not commit cookie genocide. Am I over-thinking this? Probably. *shrug* -- Furry cows moo and decompress. Pseudopod did a story a while back with small people and a regular sized human watching them.

This story had everything; even a gingerbread Challenger disaster! On a seasonal note, I implore everyone who reads this to do as I have done today: run down to the libary, pick out a horror-fantasy-occult anthology(or look through your own shelves), gather some relatives into a dark cornor, switch out the lights(and the cable TV), light a few candles and read in a low voice the ghost stories of MR James, Algernon Blackwood, J. Sheridan LeFanu, Arthur Machen, HG Wells, Dunsany, Lovecraft, Stephen King and of course, Poe, for hours on end; it's traditional and I love it! Wow!
