Should You Meet a Lady in a Darkened Wood

Synopsis

Once there was a taxidermist whose collection was his life; and what his life lacked most, he decided, was a Lady. But the Lady in question had other ideas.
This campy gothic fairytale hides a sly analogy about how we objectify each other in the post-Tinder world of online dating.
