She felt overhead – no boards or dirt. She was out of the tunnel. Suddenly she had a horrible thought. Had all her wandering led her right back into the mansion? She stood up, dug out the lighter and flicked it on again. The small wavering flame cast writhing shadows. She was now in a small cave with a floor of slick gray stone. To one side was a pool with long bones and chunks of raw meat floating in it. Odd, flat, wet things were moving through the pool and around its rim. They were what made that slithering sound. At first she couldn’t tell what they were. They appeared to be shiny blankets – some beige, some pink, some olive-brown – moving aimlessly like misshapen slugs. One worked its way toward her and she saw it was coated with fine scales, and parts of it were fringed with hair ... some parts seemed to be shaped like stockings, and those ended in flattened, boneless toes ... She screamed when she realized that the sluglike creatures were in fact living skins.... -- An excerpt from "A Beauty Treatment for Mrs. Hamogeorgakis," one of the 25 #horror tales in the #Mythos-inspired collection, BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM.
