How is Goldilocks scary – the bears, dude, the bears! Also, having someone else eat your porridge.

By the way, Brad K’s “origin of Goldilocks” up above is completely wrong. It’s not from the Grimm brothers, but from the poet Robert Southey. The characterization of Grimm’s Fairy Tales is also inaccurate.

The wikipedia entry on Goldilocks and the Grimm brothers cover this pretty well.

I haven’t read any of those books except 1984, and I have to agree with you, that is one, if no the scarriest books that I have ever read.

Thanks for the tip, Ian. There was war among the plugins–oh, the inhumanity!

All fixed now, I hope.

And thanks for the story-starter, a good beginning to a post-a-day in November (NoBloPoMo).

I think I need to read Dracula again, Heather. I may have put it down in Junior High. I definitely didn’t finish it.

And Frankenstein, yes! I’ve been meaning to read that for a while, Circle Reader. I think that’ll be a good winter read.

BTW, Circle Reader, thanks for contributing a post. I tried to comment over there but my comment had a fatal error. The Horror! I started off with, “I think I love this post.”

It might be a problem with comments.php or something. A perfect time to upgrade to the latest Sandbox, I think. It could just be WordPress too though.

Agreed, Heather T. Care for Frankenstein next?

I’ve taken a stab at your Moorlock Challenge, even though I missed Halloween. Let me know what you think!

Morlocks – eek!

I recently finished reading Dracula for the first time and that is one creepy story!
