Darger arrives in time for the autopsies. Watches withered bodies laid out on the stainless steel slabs of the morgue, their faces crusted with sandy soil, skin pulled taut around knobby cheekbones.

And Joe Sully, the investigating officer, is about to have the spiritual awakening of his life.
Once Upon a Punchline
by Holly Schindler
Rating: 5.0 #ad
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away…
you were a child. And fairy tales were delightful stories that insisted life wasn’t scary and overwhelming, but magical and sweet. Oh, there were happy endings galore—not to mention plenty of helpful godmothers and wands locked and loaded with life-changing sparkles.
Come on—admit it! That was pretty great. Now, you’re an adult. And let’s admit this: adulthood isn’t quite as swell as you’d once hoped it would be. What if you could explore this (ahem) more mature era of life through the same rose-tinted magical lens of a fairy tale?
