“Babycakes”
1990-00-00
short story
By Neil Gaiman

Synopsis

All of the animals, fish and birds are gone, so humans turn to their babies as replacement.

History

First publication: Taboo #4, 1990

Review

Extremely short story with an extreme and repulsive concept. Definitely a horror story. I think Gaiman is making the point about our poor treatment of animals. Too short to really get into this or love it.
