Great title, eh? Sadly it's not one of mine, neither is 'Cinderella Spiteful', 'Alison All Alone' or 'The Crippled Ballerina'. They're all titles of cartoon strips in 1970s girls' comics, a documentary about which I have just been watching. I never though such things would be a hitherto untapped source of conte-cruele style horror but the subject matter of some of these (one featured a downstairs maid who basically got beaten by the butler every week, another has a tennis player who gets blinded out of spite) means next time I'm in Oxfam I'll be checking out the big box of comics they have upstairs. |

If you happen to find that one about the downstairs maid... let me know, will you? |

I don't know if it's my typically deranged imagination, but I could have sworn that the starter of a recent thread appeared in the index of postings as "John Llewellyn Probe". |

Ah yes, that would be my doppelganger who's easy to spot as he has something missing, a bit like "The Man Who Haunted Himsel". |

Mick Curt is very standoffish isn't he? At least he doesn't have a predilection for, well you know, like Gary Mc. |

Well I did invent the Toilet Mythos in the eighties, e.g.: http://www.ligotti.net/showpost.php?p=9304&postcount=23 and many othe references and stories over the years. |
