Brian Evenson | Electric Lit | 9th September 2024 Superbly creepy ghost story. A new father remembers the terrifying bedtime stories his mother used to tell him and wonders why she wanted to scare a child. She denies doing so. Regardless, he recalls those tales and worries that, given the opportunity, she will repeat the experience for her grandson. But what if both mother and son are telling the truth? Who is telling the stories? (3,500 words)
Clagnut | 30th October 2014 Deleted from Wikipedia because it contained "nonsense phrases thought up by people who apparently find this sort of thing terribly clever", this list of pangrams is a marvel. The "perfect" ones contain only one each of English's 26 letters and don't make much sense. But "Fox nymphs grab quick-jived waltz" (28) and "Bright vixens jump; dozy fowl quack" (29) sit pleasingly on the tongue (10,700 words)
