"Here There Be Tygers" is a short story by Stephen King first published in Ubris Magazine in 1968 and re-published in the Skeleton Crew collection. This story is extremely short, and written from the perspective of a boy who believes a tiger is lurking in his school bathroom.[1]
The title references the phrases used by medieval cartographers when they put warnings on unexplored portions of their maps. The phrase was also used in King's later story "The Reploids." In the movie version of "The Dark Half" the story Thedore's mother looks at is a copy of this story.
As King noted in the Foreword to Skeleton Crew, this is one of the first stories King ever wrote, actually written when King himself was still in high school.
