Dark Tales to Light the Way

Dark Tales to Light the Way features two stories of supernatural suspense. The first is titled "Another Bad Seed?" Loosely adapted from the novel by late author William March, from the 1950s, it too features a child whose thinking and behavior touch on the sociopathic. In the 1956 film The Bad Seed based on March's book, producer Mervyn LeRoy presided over a true masterpiece. The second tale, "Schizophrenia," takes the reader along a journey, an odyssey, wherein the frailties of human motivation and desire are illuminated. In order to lighten the intensity of the tales, occasions of a tongue-in-cheek attitude are injected.
