Fellow lovers of the genre, the Master of Horror once said,

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who only dream by night.

~In memory of Edgar Allan Poe who died on October 7, 1849

Babadook!

When did I first see
A shadow attached to me
Refuse to loosen?

A sickening form
That no longer deigns to leave
No hope of reprieve!

Like the shadow's plight
From Poe, a foul piece of night
Feeds upon my soul.
