ah… so many great things sewn through this thread… one of my all time fave Sesame Street Books… Slasher Film Cliches… and HP Lovecraft… it’s all so good… I think I will go count to 10 down by the dock where bikini clad Jennifer appears to be conducting experiments for Miskatonic University.

Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, **Monstre**?, This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “ **Monstre**!” Merely this, and nothing more. (-- Modified from of course Poe’s “The Raven” ) ---
