Hair-Raising Tales of the Macabre!

Introduced once again by Flurnston Boils, whose Boilscoin crypto scheme didn’t quite work out

Welcome back, fright fans! In tonight’s tale of terror we meet a fussy customer who’s about to have a bone to pick with her hairdresser. It’s a cutting-edge story I like to call A Little Off the Top:


Mimsy Mufflefluff was a glamorous cat, vain and proud. She was covered head to tail in long flowing white fur that she groomed constantly. So when her husband Tom casually remarked “Looks like your fur’s a bit uneven on one side, dear” she rushed herself to the nearest salon.

“Just even it out,” she demanded, and the hairdresser set to work. He was a strange lanky man, with spindly fingers and an eye that kept twitching, but he worked quickly and presented her with a mirror. “Oh, no!” she gasped, “you took off too much and now the other side’s too long. Fix it!” And all that afternoon and into the evening, the hairdresser tried to satisfy her demands, until…

“Oh, Thomas,” cooed Mimsy later that night. “Come and see! Am I perfect now?”

It’s All About Mimi

Time for a visit with the dachshund family, but this time to focus on Mimi the Bengal cat. Whether she’s curled up alone or on top of her sisters, Mimi rules her space.

Dead Tired

You know, being a homicidal maniac can be a demanding hobby. You’re running around in the woods, chasing camp counselors in the middle of the night — and those kids can really book, too. So it’s good to come home, put your feet up, and cuddle with the one friend who really understands me.
