The Giant Purple Snorklewacker was an odd-looking monster and the leader of the monsters who lived in Binkley's closet of anxieties. At night he would make Binkley's nightmares, including such diverse characters as Jesse Helms and Milton Friedman, come alive.

“The sense of death is most in apprehension,
And the poor beetle that we tread upon
In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great
As when a giant dies.”

Between earth and sky, creeping
In windows and doors, daubing
The entire neighborhood
With purple paint.”
