DescriptionRIP Greg Hildebrandt.This was framed and been on my wall for over 20 years. Published 1992 in Hard Cover by Atheneum / Macmillan Child of an Ancient City written by Nina Kiriki Hoffman and Tad Williams. Cover and interior illustrations by Greg Hildebrandt. A caravan met disaster in the mountains. Bandits fell upon them by night, scattering their horses, looting and pillaging their cargo. When the survivors gathered together, they salvaged what they could and began the long trek home. They are stalked by a vampyr, a creature that preys on the living and shuns the light of day. According to legend, a vampyr will stop and listen to a story told around a campfire if it is gripping enough, then retreat when dawn breaks. Over the next few weeks, the caravan travels hard by day. At night stories are told. On their last evening in the vampyr’s domain, the creature steps forward for the first time---and challenges them to a contest for the saddest story of all. If it wins, it will claim one of their number for its last meal. If they win, they may leave unharmed. Social/Sharing |

Tonight I dropped my beer and it exploded. If that don't win saddest story then I don't know what will.

Lost the art upon cargo
Storytime sadness
I'm just in the mood to show
That Miki, you the best
I saw the red death on tonight
Caravan the dark, in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real Greg, gypsy queen style
Art deal's off, I'm feelin' alive
Oh, my God, I feel it looted here
Ink and tone 'spires, the love is sizzlin' everywhere
Miki, it's vampire, I feel the atmosphere
Nothin' scares me anymore
(One, two, three, four)
Kiss the art before you go
Storytime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That Miki, you the best
I got that storytime, storytime sadness
Sta-sta-storytime, storytime sadness
Got that storytime, storytime sadness
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Wow, a shockingly beautiful, small breasted, realistically proportioned female! How's that for a curveball?
