LITTLE NIGHTMARES

A watchful eye

With graceful restraint, The Lady casts the hypnotic spell that keeps the engine running. Amidst the chaos of the world outside, The Maw is the only place that makes sense, and now this rumour of an escaped child threatens everything.  Nothing can be allowed to interfere. The guests must eat. The Maw must survive.

Full to bursting

The Guests are an essential part of The Maw’s life-cycle. Herded into the large hall, they slump into their bowing stools, and there they feed. Without taste, without need, without end. And then they leave, one way or another.

The Man With The Long Arms

With long forgotten things from long forgotten places, he fled the world and found The Maw. Now as The Janitor he is a tall tale hiding in the shadows, stalking the silence, a monster alone.

Bloodsuckers

In the dark, moist corners of The Maw, the leeches writhe as one, awaiting the swollen wanderers. Slimy, venomous parasites that feed on the living - the leeches truly belong here.

A Pair of Brutes

With a love of violence and a feeling for meat, the twins were born to be chefs.  As they shuffle across the cold floor, chopping, mincing, preparing the feast, the Twin Chefs sense something that makes their skin itch. A dirty, unwelcome presence. Vermin will not be tolerated in the kitchen.

Playful oddities

Unpredictability can be found throughout The Maw, and so can The Nomes. Though experience has taught them to be skittish, some still try to make friends with strangers. These Nomes rarely survive.

A hungry child

Trapped in the darkest depths of The Maw, starving and alone, Six's world is one filled with danger. Most children would have already given up, but Six is different. She's smart, and tough, and has a lovely yellow raincoat. She belongs elsewhere.
