And yet... who is to say that having one's soul devoured by a good wholesome cat is not better perhaps than being eaten and shat out by that Shelob of ancient Mesopotamia known as Yahweh? That many-legged gruesome "God" who takes you to "heaven"...
Oddly enough, I just finished watching BUBBA HO-TEP the other day. The mummy in that thing also eats souls, and shits out incidental soul residue. I wonder what that would actually be. What part of a soul is not digestible?
And, of course, eating souls reminded me of the soul sucking activities in Tim Powers' Expiration Date; I was genuinely terrified at the description of the "wheezing" of the main hunter of the cigar in that thar' book.
