If you are looking for some light bed-time reading, may I suggest you consult this list:
10 Great Books For (Traumatizing) Children
I actually feel like I need to hunt these books down! I've read the titles in #2 by Edward Gorey and Hilaire Belloc and I actually loved them. (That's not to say I think childrens books about a Hiroshima or abusive parents would be awesome. But an alphabet book of death? How can you not find humor in that. (Plus, that was one of my first ever illustration assignments... Good times.)
Besidese, if you ask me, Jim deserved it for being a brat and running away. And Matilda!! Hahahaha. You should totally check her out.

Each person could have a little bag under their plate:
"A is for Amy who fell down the stairs," and "B is for Basil assaulted by bears," and so on.
And then there could also be a little prop, like a baby tooth or some type of bone or a clump of hair or something.
I think I missed my calling...
