On This Day In History
1991: Cannibal and serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer is caught

Quote Of The Day
"The only motive that there ever was was to completely control a person; a person I found physically attractive. And keep them with me as long as possible, even if it meant just keeping a part of them."
(Jeffrey Dahmer)

I finished reading the third novella in Stephen King's Four Past Midnight anthology this afternoon, The Library Policeman , while escaping the worst of the heat in Starbucks. The boogey man/woman in this story was The Library Policeman/Ardelia Lortz. Both are manifestations of a creature that feed off of fear, the same species, in fact, as Pennywise The Clown in It. This reminds me very much of Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare On Elm Street series.

Should I be concerned that I saw this poster (?) of Freddy in, of all incongruous places, a women's clothing shop?

"One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, get a crucifix.
Seven, eight, better stay up late.
Nine, ten, never sleep again."


"Boy, welcome to sleep.
I'm gonna make you, make you, make you bleed."
