![]() For me, it was a copy of “Little Red Riding Hood.” One page depicted a particularly frightening drawing of the wolf jumping out at Little Red. I think everyone has a children’s book that scared the everloving crap out of them as a kid. I won’t spoil it, because you can read “Do You Remember the Little Red Bear?” or listen to the podcast’s version of it for free. This is so unrealistic.” The relationship between these two characters - whether it’s realistic or not - is the backbone of “Do You Remember the Little Red Bear?”Īnother main component of “Do You Remember the Little Red Bear?” is my all-time favorite horror trope, ‘the piece of art that drives the viewer to madness.’ In this case, it’s a children’s picture book called “The Little Red Bear,” which terrifies our main protagonists and drives another to an appalling act of violence. “This isn’t how siblings interact,” I kept thinking, “no brother is that nice to his sister. ![]() It’s a sweet relationship that I actually had a lot of trouble writing because of how unrealistic I thought it was. She, in turn, is kind and supportive of him. He doesn’t belittle her in front of her peers or spread vicious lies about her. The man is supportive and protective of his sister. In a lot of ways, their relationship is what I wish my brother and I had had growing up.

Believe me, I wish I could, but certain things tend to stick with you into adulthood, and sometimes you find yourself hunched over a keyboard, angrily writing a story where a fictionalized version of your little brother finally gets what’s coming to him.īut I digress. I think she’d prefer it if I could just forget about my brother’s terrible treatment of me. If asked to rattle off a list of my NoSleep contributions, this is the one that I inevitably forget about.Ī big chunk of this story is an apology to my mother. As a result, it’s often the story that I tend to forget I wrote. In fact, I went out of my way to make this story as least autobiographical as possible. “Forgetful Jones” is autobiographical, but “Do You Remember the Little Red Bear?” isn’t.
