Here There Be Tygers

[Srbo]

Short story from Skeleton Crew.

I`ve read it last night three times in a row and didn`t get it - could someone please explain to me what this story is about ?

Thanks.

Well SK was really young when he wrote it, so I think it's horror for the sake of horror. There really isn't any meaning to it.

[Srbo]

Thanks.

But didn`t find to much horror in it either. Just the imagination of a kid.

Anyone else ?

*whew* I thought I was the only one. I don't get it either and have reread it about 10 times. I think I was looking for more meaning than was there.

Has been a long time since I read this one, must go back and re-read. It is quite short yes?

not horror? It had a tiger eating people. what can be more horror than that.

[Srbo]

Yes, it is short.
3-4 pages is all there is...

When I think back on my time in grade school, getting a restroom pass was like going on a safari! I wouldn't have been suprised to find a tiger lurking in the girls restroom....I'm pretty sure that when the prefered meal of 5th graders are in short supply, they could live on the ever growing 'wet toilet paper wad' stalactites forming on the ceiling.

Its been so long since I read that story that I'm not even sure what its about anymore.

I have always wondered message Sai King was trying to convey through writing this story.
