Thanks for the comment. Wow! The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a good story...I think I'm going to re-read it in the coming days. Loved that story!

Love the lens and the list, but personally I rate The Rats in the Walls and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward over The Outsider. Still, one man's space-mead is another man's poison, eh? You are definitely a Priest of the Starry Widsom, though. Ia you.

If anyone comes up with a story they think should be moved into the list, let me know.

Nicely thoughtAuthorities: 75 years for convicted rapist, murderer

A Sauk Village man today was sentenced to 75 years in prison for sexually assaulting and strangling a 15-year-old honor student and classmate whose body was found dumped in a wooded area in the south suburbs in 2008, authorities said.

Timothy Easley, 24, was given the sentence during a hearing at the Markham Courthouse before Cook County Judge Luciano Panici, according to a statement from the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.

A jury convicted Easley in January of first-degree murder and aggravated criminal sexual assault for sexually assaulting and strangling honor student Brashai Griffin and then leaving her body in a creek in a secluded area in Sauk Village, the statement said.

Easley and Griffin were classmates at Bloom Trail High School.
