Found The Willows after reading T Kingfisher’s The Hollow Places. Never looked at an otter the same after that story.

Same, one of the scariest books I’ve ever read. The “Dracula” movies I’ve seen don’t even come close to the book.

Okay, the Sheriff Brodie thing didn’t happen, but sounded good after the fact.

Moral of the story? Go to the dematologist! Especially if you’re a fair-skinned boy from Oklahoma that lived in the AZ desert for almost 30 years, even if it results in a bloody mess and a divot in the side of your face.

Made it home, blood, the bandage saturated, running down the side of my face and pooling at that little hollow at the base of my throat, telling my wife, in my best Sheriff Brodie voice: “We’re going to need a bigger bandage.”

Dr: “My assistant shall begin the torture by jabbing a needle in that spot, over and over. Yes, we will make you talk, Mr Bond!” Dr Assistant: “You feel that?!? Do you!??” Patient: “Ow” Dr, returning to the exam room after a few minutes: “Now we begin operation ‘Carve a hole in this dude’s face’”
