I felt that the fairly unscary ones were made vivid and terrifying by the accompaniment of the amazing illustrations.
On the note of recalling emotions from when you were a young child, whenever I smell mothballs I feel like I'm about to get in trouble or something because the principal's office at my elementary school always smelled like mothballs. I was somewhat of a frequent flyer, so that response has been branded within my brain.

I still can't believe it. I think a big part of the decision was based around this:

Some favorites, as best as I can remember them: 1.) The one where the spiders layed eggs in the girl's cheeks. Played up my arachnophobia. 2.) The Wendigo, I think is what it was called? 3.) The one with the guy that fell overboard into the sea or something, I remember that one being very creepy. 4.) The Hook, where they find the claw on the car door Quote:
There was also that one with the people who saw the hearse or something? I wish I remembered the names of them. Last edited by midnight rain; 02-04-2012 at 08:54 PM. |

Love this illustration So surreal! It's like someone flying a rocking chair through a cthulhian nightmare.

Yup! I always thought that one was so eerie. "My fiery feet, my burning feet of fire..." Quote:

Exactly! I love it so much. The new ones are fine, but so unimaginative. |

I think that that one is just called "The Hearse"

It's Room for One More, damn I read those so many times as a kid that I instantly recognized them when you named them Canwll, I'm going to have to dig around my house and find them.
Oh and the new artwork looks like ****. |

Do the illustrator and author still have the rights to prevent or sue for this travesty or do they not care that their brilliance is being raped?
