Fig Newtons, Lorna Doones and Orange Pekoe Tea. A young literature student visits an elderly aunt in nearby Beacon Hill. When an unpublished manuscript arrives in the mail, its narration reveals a dark and sinister plot. "The sugar tongs, just long enough to fit the comfortable grasp of the ladies' dainty hands, would have tips decorated with the miniature claws of a wild beast. If in a natural setting, they could possibly tear and strip the flesh from their prey -- this in sharp contrast to their rightful genteel purpose of afternoon tea." "It's to die for." - Hortense Pierce
