At the beginning of this Hauntings tale, I thought that this was going to be a fae / changeling story. But it wasn’t. It was actually seriously icky. And disturbing… and had absolutely nothing to do with angels or anything even remotely benevolent.
This story features horrible demon things that try to eat children. And they do succeed… which, of course, makes this the perfect short story for the Hauntings collection. But, it did make me seriously uncomfortable when the narrator started describing the “wet thing”.
There is something of this short story that is a bit reminiscent of IT. Which, of course, makes it all that much more terrifying. And honestly, it is just damn creepy. And not in the way that I usually enjoy…

There is an area at the free library where you can read about children being treated in the most inhumane ways. Start there.
