* AdultFear: Gaiman cites this as the reason the story is, ironically, scarier for grown-ups than for children. The {{Adult Fear}}s go over children's heads, so they read it as an adventure story with some creepy monsters, delivering familiar {{Aesop}}s such as "Be brave" and "BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor." Adults, on the other hand, get the message, "If you neglect your children, they might be [[spoiler: kidnapped, mutilated, and murdered by somebody who pretends to be you]]."
