The AV club on 17 fictional towns that are characters in their own right

[froodle]

Though it only lasted 19 episodes in its initial run on NBC, the horror-comedy series Eerie, Indiana spawned a short-lived spin-off in Fox’s Saturday morning lineup and a series of young-adult paperbacks. Credit the weird pull of Eerie itself, a heartland small town that looks like it was transported whole from a ’60s sitcom, only with monsters, cultists, aliens, and mad scientists behind every door. The premise of the show has new Eerie resident Marshall Teller trying to convince his skeptical parents that they’d moved to The Twilight Zone, as he and his best friend Simon solve the town’s many mysteries. Eerie, Indiana appealed to kids everywhere who felt like the “normal” streets and houses of their neighborhoods were hiding terrible secrets. The town itself seemed to be whispering truths that only the young could hear.

Eerie, Indiana drabble: Hungry

[froodle]

Written for the Spook Me challenge. I chose the Grim Reaper and the prompt picture that inspired this is here

The great maw chittered horribly, the moist tendrils that fringed the toothed gullet writhing with anticipation. Lost souls, bleached bone-white in the endless searing light of that place, shuffled forward towards the gaping hole. It whispered to them as they came, blandishments and calumnies, dark fears and horrid truths no man should know.

Mayor Chisel stood on the shattered wooden floor above it, surrounded by Garbagemen in hi-vis jackets and hard hats. The Garbagemen's faces were impassive, for they had no spirit for the Maw to twist and tear.

The Mayor spat into the hole.

"Seal it up," he said.
