Goodreads asked Joanne Leedom-Ackerman:

Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story?

Joanne Leedom-Ackerman Once upon a time there was a very sorry leader who feared ideas and books and set about burning all books and ideas he didn’t understand or agree with. For a time the people hid their books and themselves and suffered, but a writer came forward and rewrote the story of the sorry and fearful man and taught him how to read.
