    WATTY 2016 WINNER of the HQ Love Award!
        
        Strange Yarns is a ball of tangled tales. Twisted, knotted, and intertwined. Like Tales of the Crypt, the Twilight Zone, and The Outer Limits. Strange Yarns is not just a collection of ghastly tales, these are yarns, and yarns are sewed together. Follow the yarns and see the grand design... think of this as an evil quilt.  
        
        Ghost, ghouls, and  cannibals being studied for nutrition research, Strange Yarns has got it all. ALL EXCEPT HAPPY ENDINGS!!! (The Author's Lawyer's retain the rights to define happy endings.)
            
        I'd love it if you'd vote. And if you really like them please share with a friend. And if you hated them, please share with an enemy.
