![]() ![]() Fear Street Part 1: 1994 homages classic 90s slasher franchises like Scream. On the surface, each installment is crafted as a self-contained, bloodsoaked tale. Given the weekly nature of the release - and the marketing - many questioned whether Fear Street is a movie or television show? To borrow a term from Star-Lord and Loki, the simple answer is that they were designed as a bit of both.

Like Carroll, Wright was a photographer, and in addition to illustrating her stories she took many self-portraits that project a glossy and perfect image, the epitome of glamour. To this collection of childless children's writers must be added Dare Wright, author of "The Lonely Doll," a book published in 1957 that engendered both a vast cult following and many sequels. And in stories like "The Little Mermaid," Hans Christian Andersen, another lifelong bachelor, dealt with impossible, unrequited love. Lewis Carroll, a lifelong bachelor, enjoyed a famously eyebrow-raising attachment to the little girl who inspired "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." George Selden, the unmarried author of "The Cricket in Times Square," also wrote "The Story of Harold," a pseudonymous, semi-autobiographical adult novel that dealt with bisexuality and sadomasochism. ![]() MANY distinguished children's writers haven't had children of their own - or, for that matter, conventional family lives.
