The Velveteen Rabbi

There have been thousands upon thousands of "bookswithalettermissing" tweets on Twitter since it started last year. I tried. I can't even come up with one! And I'm usually pretty good with word games. (Okay, after I wrote that I came up with Tar Trek and Tar Wars while I was compiling the list below. Yay! :-D)

If you're game, drop a letter from a book, movie, play, song, TV show to come up with a new title. Then add on a short plot summary that is, preferably, related in a twisted way to the original.

If, like me, you're having problems coming up with the titles, I've listed some that you can create descriptions for.

It is the nature of tweets to be ephemeral, but some have been caught before they disappeared:

It’s the #bookswithalettermissing eBook! -- 500 in a PDF download from the guy who started it all and where most of the above examples came from. (His kids' humorous horror series looks cute too :-)
