The things I can’t see are always more frightening. JONATHAN MABERRY: What’s not on your list? KAMI GARCIA: Not necessarily in that order. KAMI GARCIA: I’m incredibly superstitious, so there are a lot of things that scare me: ghosts, heights, snakes, sharks, drowning, suffocating, demonic possession, and being buried alive. JONATHAN MABERRY: Give me your top terrors. KAMI GARCIA: If you’re talking smaller fears, how much time do you have? KAMI GARCIA: The big ones are my children being harmed in any way, and my husband getting sick or dying. JONATHAN MABERRY: Let’s jump in with the big question –what scares Kami Garcia? She lives in Maryland with her family, and their dogs Spike and Oz (named after characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

When Charles Dickens published this scene in December 1852-an installment from his serialized novel Bleak House-most readers swallowed it as fact. But it was too late: Old Krook was gone, a victim of spontaneous combustion. They burst onto the street, shouting for help. They stared for a moment, before turning and running. Then they saw the pile of ash on the floor. The men swung their lantern around, looking for Krook, who was nowhere to be seen. But the only sign of life was the cat, still hissing. Krook’s coat and cap lay on a chair a bottle of gin sat on the table. Grease stained the walls and ceiling as if it were painted on. When they entered Krook’s room, the odor choked them. Outside Krook’s bedroom near the back of the shop, a cat leaped out and snarled. But tonight they sensed something positively evil. Krook’s shop-crammed with dirty rags, bottles, bones, and other hoarded trash-was unpleasant even in daytime. At last, after midnight, they descended the stairs.
