Tailypo, tailypo. I WANT MY TAILYPO!!! 👹 I first heard this creepy folktale in my elementary school music class. It was a Halloween tradition. I also came across the story in short horror collections I often read at the same time, like Short and Shivery by Robert D. San Souci (ISBN 0385264267). So of course I set off to write my own version in American Monsters. The eerie hands and almost human features of Katherine Coville’s illustration of the creature left an impression that laid down the blueprints for my monstrous sphinx redesign. • | | | | #tailypo #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #90sbooks #oldschool #shortandshivery #books #scholasticbooks #scholasticbookfair #horror #scary #scarystories #shortstories #horrorstories #folktales #monsters #halloween #creature #creaturedesign #sphinx #mtg (at Stone Oak) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMhkf3NDqAM/?igshid=krp3uuvqlm7z

“One day you will meet a girl who will talk about the world as if she has lived a thousand lives, and she will see things in such a different perspective that you will question everything you know. She will describe things in words you have never heard but they sound so beautiful coming out of her mouth that you will look them up and start using them yourself. She will be curious and have the wonder of a child and the phrase ‘curiosity killed the cat’ will take on a new meaning when people tell her things that she doesn’t want to hear and it makes her heart break in half so you end up holding her and picking up the pieces. She will bring out a passion in you that no one knew you had and she will make you feel something you have never felt. She will hide her face when you see her with her hair up and no makeup but your voice will catch in your throat because she looks like the most beautiful woman in the world. She will act a little crazy and ignite a fire in your bones that burns so bad it makes you want to run for your life. Don’t. Don’t you fucking dare. Stare at her even if she is so bright it burns, hold her close even though you’re terrified that if you touch her the wrong way she’ll break. Kiss her so hard that you see stars, trace the scars that litter her body, do not let her be ashamed. She makes you feel vulnerable, and it will scare the living hell out of you. You are not used to being out of control, let the new experience teach you lessons. It won’t make you a hero to leave because you think you’ll break her, you are doing her no favours by killing something that hasn’t yet been brought to life. So do not run. Do not run away from what scares you because you have the potential to be so much more than a coward who breaks her heart. Love her for as long as the universe allows, because if you don’t, I swear that you will regret it.”
