For those of you who like your Christmas a little more macabre than most, here’s a little something to keep you in the horror spirit over the festive season:-
The Twelve Days of Dismemberment
On the first day of Christmas, my true love’s stalker sent by mail …
A ransom note written in blood.
(Not being rich or serious folks,
We paid it no heed and thought it a hoax.)
On the twelfth day of Christmas, he sent her back to me…
Twelve clumps of hair,
Eleven yards of skin (freshly flayed)
Ten sautéed toes,
Nine gnawed at fingers,
Eight extracted molars,
Seven threads of sinew,
Six pints of blood,
One finger through a wedding ring,
Four hacked off limbs,
Three bones with no marrow,
Two jellied eyes,
And her severed head in a box.
