YMMV / The Book of Lost Things

• Complete Monster
  • The Crooked Man is a being who achieves immortality by tricking a child in the real world into sacrificing someone they hate to him, usually a younger brother or sister. He feeds upon their heart and their life for as long as they would have lived, while the corrupted child is crowned king or queen of a world built out of their own nightmares, suffering as the Crooked Man glories in their anguish until they wither and die. Afterward the Crooked Man goes looking for another child that's prepared to have their unwanted siblings horribly murdered, the fate that almost befalls 12-year-old David as the Crooked Man tries to torment him into sacrificing his brother for the Crooked Man's benefit.
  • The Huntress is a sadist fond of Hunting the Most Dangerous Game. Bored with her usual routine and finding humans too fragile to keep up the entertainment, she's taken up grafting the heads of human beings onto animal bodies through a technique she learned from three surgeons she happened to abduct and torture. Because adults don't adjust well to the shock, the recipients of this treatment are children, who generally spend the last tortured minutes of their lives running through a dark forest in an unfamiliar body before being shot dead, partially eaten, and having their preserved remains hung from a wall.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids? - It's a story about a 12 year old boy who visits a fairy tale land... and is filled to the brim with Nightmare Fuel.
