And I Must Scream: The fate of many of the Crooked Man's victims, not the least of which the children sold out by the monarchs of the fairy-tale land, whose souls are trapped in jars and used to fuel the Crooked Man's life force.

Adaptational Abomination: The Crooked Man is eventually revealed to be Rumpelstiltskin, here portrayed not as a Depraved Dwarf with a connection to the Fair Folk, but as a Humanoid Abomination that simply came into being with the dawn of humanity and has been sustaining his existence through horribly sadistic "stories." Another John Connolly short story - The Hollow King - takes this even further by speculating that the Crooked Man might be the Fetus Terrible result of a union between an old god and a human woman or even something that was born from "the dark stuff of the universe."
