Tomorrow, I will post the next installment of Children's Books That Never Were. Prepare to be shocked, or at least, mildly grossed out.

  1. Don't know if these would qualify as entries, but here are a couple of authentically nonexistent titles:

    Preston and the Starving Shadows
    Preston and the Upside-down Face
    Preston and the Ghost of the Gourd
    Preston and the Laughing This
    Preston and the Twitching That

    They're all the ouvre of an imaginary children's writer named Alice (nolastnamegiven) from a Thomas Ligotti story called "Alice's Last Adventure," -- one of the creepiest horror stories I've ever read and the only one I've ever encountered that is actually about writing children's books.

    It's one of those stories that really has to be read twice to be appreciated. If you can, check it out. You might enjoy it.

    Or...you might not.
