A great monster book is often the by-product of
a dedicated team of individuals working off le-
gitimate facts based of genuine research to write
stories which are marvellously enthralling. The
book which you are currently reading is sadly not
such a book, in fact it is quite the opposite. The
Spooky Shorts is a collection of four totally absurd
short stories and poems backed up by ground-
less facts and are poorly based upon the eccen-
tric ramblings of street hobos not even willing
to disclose their names for fear that this publi-
cation will somehow bring them shame. What I
mean is that if your hoping to be marvellously
enthralled , youre reading the wrong book.
A terrifyingly truthful forward.

Screams of panic cut through the air,
as the mechanical monstrosities
march through the square.
Their silhouettes towering into the night, each
monolith like face casting
an eerie green light.
No one knows how or why
their numbers had gotten so high,
for they seemed to have doubled, tripled or even
quadrupled in a blink of an eye.
They show no sign of weakness
but grow stronger with each passing day,
As they know that the humans
will just continue to pay.

The El Gigante is the most enormous living thing
on earth. It weights slightly more than 457 fully
grown elephants and is rumoured to have been
created by ships dumping biohazardous waste over
the Pacific. It is so big that it has never been fully
photographed in any sort of respectable publica-
tion. However, it had been reported that a Miss
Amy Canton of Burlington, New York was the
first person to have had taken El Gigantes full
picture. This picture would have proudl y showed
off the creatures 500 meter long body as well as
its uniquely arranged dorsal fins but unfortunately
that picture was never recovered; as was the body
of Amy Canton, as well as the cruise ship The
Discovery and ever yone else on board it.

This next one is short, just so you know,
as I am sure you are anxious
to get back to your show.
Created by man to be the perfect machine,
the perfect entertainment on flickery screens.
With no imagination left in their heads,
humanity clutters the streets like the dead.
And it is there in that mire
where they push and they shout,
and continue to stare till their eyes all pop out.
And then the sightless crowd moaned,
...show us all that we desire...
The box made no replied and nor any attempt
to explain his strange attire.

There is a reason why mom said no snacking af ter
9 pm, and that reason is transfats. It is said that
your average transfat lurker has about 16 mouths
and smells like a used diaper. They hydrogenate
when no one is looking, often in hardened veg-
etable oils, most margarines, commercial baked
foods, and many f ried foods.
When inevitably injected into the human diges-
tive system, they can raise cholesterol in blood-
streams to dangerous levels. What is even more
terrifying is that they are now known to be the
chief culprits responsible for those obscenely
horrible pot bellies and those especially hideous,
bye-bye underarms. Ghastl y...
It lies beneath...
