"The taxidermist, having clarified the matter to my satisfaction, offered to show me a uniquely challenging commission for a rich and famous client whose name he declined to give. Indisputably, the body was monstrous, that of a snake nearly as thick as my leg, but the head was far worse, for it was that of a innocent human girl of no more than five years."
