The Babysitter, et al, “The Specialist’s Hat,” Kelly Link

“When you’re Dead,” Samantha says, “you don’t have to brush your teeth.” “When you’re Dead,” Claire says, “you live in a box, and it’s always dark, but you’re not ever afraid.” In this perfectly disturbing, World Fantasy Award-winning, two identical twins counting the days since their mother’s death play in the attic with their new babysitter who, she tells them, used to live there. Needless to say, ghosts of many kinds abound — none of them popping out from behind corners or rattling chains, but all weaseling into your cold bones. Read it here.
