I'm sure it did - it's the scariest kids' book I've ever seen. First time I read it to Isabelle she says "I don't like this very much, it's a bit scary". I myself was in a fucking cold sweat reading the thing, and regretted even bringing it into the house. The edge is kinda gone off it now since I've read it about one zillion times (and given all the monsters names), but the wild rumpus in the middle still gives me the shivers

 

[oh shit]

noooo
where the wild things are is great fun

try neil gaiman's 'wolves in the walls' - that really freaks kids out

kids are dweebs

i had this ladybird book as a kid about this weird monster that would turn up and put people into this carpet bag it brought around with him. the bag was like a gateway to another world

that book shouldn't have belonged in my christmas stocking :-(

are those weird animals REAL animals?!?!

My fave kid's book is A Wrinkle in Time, it's genius. And scary. More for older kids though.

Any news reports on this monsta monsta yet? I want cold, hard PROOF!

Gawker's been updating on it pretty frequently. There was a brief moment during which many were concerned the photo was part of a viral marketing campaign, but apparently, that is unlikely to be true.

Some sciencey type has said that it is consistent with a decomposing dog, and the fucked-up looking snout is just down to the angle of the photo.

Viral marketing has seriously fucked up my ability to get really into potentially cool stuff. I'm just always that little bit nervous about being too excited about a lot of stuff until I found out if some marketing cunt is behind it.

Just....call me when marketing twats start washing up on the beaches.

The Cloverfield viral stuff was pretty cool though. All about a Jap company called Tagruato and their secret drilling projects, weird additives in their soft drinks, oil rigs being destroyed by means unknown, secret navy ops to find the cause... Just like an episode of Home & Away really.

[Gambra]

Guessing it was a horse of some sort

 

[David Kronenbourg]

[ravishinrikrude]

i like the way that jeff corwin dude dismisses it at the bat of an eye and then just talks about baseball.

 

[oh shit]

It's a testament to the power of nature that this kind of shit isn't more common.

Thankfully it isnt common. It'd be like Jurassic Park or something.
