31 HORROR STORIES -- "Shadetree" (1978)

@ 1:00 PM

Michael Reaves has a weird resume. He wrote on cartoons like THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS, and he also penned this mutant hybrid love-and-horror story. It's about a changeling. You know, like when a human baby gets switched with a...well, I don't know exactly what they get switched with. But when they grow up, they grow up to be like Shadetree, sort of a Southern Goth by way of Iggy Pop. And he falls in love. Which is where the horror starts, and won't stop.

Oswalt, you deeply demented sonovabitch! Here I'd been scanning your 31 Stories list, genuinely impressed by your choices ("Blank Claveringi"? "Chocolate Alphabet"? Kersh and William Fryer Harvey? All precious stones, albeit not always readily apparent to the untrained eye).

But only a *true* horror gourmet would have plucked "Shadetree" from the mists of the Charles Grant anthology it first appeared in. That last paragraph....whoah!

Given its subsequent obscurity, I'd begun to think I was the last reader still clinging to "Shadetree". Thanks so much for proving me wrong.
