After his mother's untimely death, Rhett inherits a cookie jar that has some very unusual properties. Read by Colin Stinton.

After his mother's untimely death, Rhett inherits a cookie jar which proves to have some very unusual properties...

'I had sort of a peculiar childhood, because my mother was peculiar. Not outright crazy, but very, very peculiar. Stories were her way of staying sane... A way to cover that hole in reality the way you might cover a well with boards so no one would fall in. But her stories stopped working for her. Because the thing she was afraid of was in the house with her all along.'

From 'The Bazaar of Bad Dreams', Stephen King's story adapted in three parts. Read by Colin Stinton.

Music by Timothy X Atack.
