Bad Little Kid was some good horror

“He knew the others were feeling it. It was like walking between giant electrical pylons, feeling the tingles and shocks stand every hair on end, making the tongue jitter nuttily in the mouth, making the eyes seem to crackle and shoot off sparks as they rolled in their beds of moisture. Crowd was to be pleased. Crowd was to be worshiped and feared. Ultimately, Crowd was to be made sacrifice unto.”

A bright seepage of blood ran through is fingers, shining in the sunlight.”

“I'll go crazy if I hear the guns now.
Please God, please God.”
