The Troll – Cat’s Eye

Let’s talk about the glory that is Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye.. It is a marvelous little collection of tales that involve CATS, so already that is a win.

In the last story, “The General,” this weird little troll thing that lives in the wall of the young Drew Barrymore’s room comes out, kills a bird, and eventually tries to suck the soul out of her as she sleeps. Sleeping, as you all know, is our vulnerable state. Anything that messes with you in your fugue state should probably DIAF.

Anyway, the cat, named The General (what a BAMF-ing name y/y?), is pretty awesome. The General and the troll wind up having one of the most epic battle scenes ever and obvs The General wins. This crafty feline even manages to turn on a record player which brings about the end of the troll in a most fun way, all while set to music. Thus began my love affair with cats and hate of trolls with jester hats that had jingly bells on them.
