[[folder:Synopsis]]
[[ArcNumber Twelve]] years ago, for 12 days straight, the town of [[TownWithADarkSecret Widowsbury]] suffered a [[HostileWeather terrible storm]], which tore open a [[HellGate gate through which escaped all sorts of foul, rotten things]]. Strange things and strange people were no longer welcomed in Widowsbury, for one could never be sure of what secrets waited under the surface.
[[SuperSenses Adelaide]] [[LittleBitBeastly Foss]], [[SuperStrength Maggie Borland]], and [[ISeeDeadPeople Beatrice Alfred]] are known by their classmates at [[BoardingSchoolOfHorrors Widowsbury's Madame Gertrude's School for Girls]] as "scary children." [[KidsAreCruel Unfairly targeted]] because of their peculiarities, the girls spend a good deal of time isolated in the school's [[SpookySilentLibrary inhospitable library]] facing detention. But when a number of people mysteriously begin to disappear in Widowsbury, the girls work together, along with [[GadgeteerGenius Steffen Weller]], son of the cook at Rudyard School for Boys, to find out who, or what, is behind the abductions.

Childrin R Skary is a series of {{Web Animation}}s by Katy Towell about...well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin scary children]]. It has featured, among others, a child spreading a plague and a child who everyone treats as a pariah [[spoiler:but it turns out she is the only one keeping the real monsters from killing everything]].
There are also tons of illustrations that keep in line with the site's rather macabre theme.
The series can be found [[http://skary.net/ here]].
Ms. Towell has also published her first novel, [[http://www.amazon.com/dp/0375868593/ref%3Dasc_df_03758685931737710/%3Ftag%3Daskcom05el-20%26creative%3D394997%26creativeASIN%3D0375868593%26linkCode%3Dasn Skary Childrin and the Carousel of Sorrow]].
