Illustrated by
Peter Bailey.
David is horrified when a kitten moves into his home and transforms into a huge feline spirit-beast who seduces the family into abandoning their normal lives and doing only its will--mainly, petting and feeding it. The ending leaves important questions unanswered, but the illustrated novella will find an audience among readers looking for a quick and scary read.
