For the “Favorite Horror Story” challenge from Month of Fear 2013.

“I wouldn’t say The Green Ribbon is by any means my favorite horror story as an adult.  However, when I was a kid, Alvin Schwartz’s version of the story, as well as a similar poem by Shel Silverstein, chilled me.  I pored over Dirk Zimmer’s illustrations for the story in that “can’t look away” fashion.  I can practically see the influence in my work today.”
