Trouble setting a variable to a list

I tried to set the following variable to a list of strings....

(setq buffers-to-skip
      '("*scratch*", "*Messages*", "*Echo Area 0*", "*Echo Area 1*",
                                 "*Minibuf-0*", "*Minibuf-1*", "*Buffer List*"))


When I tried to use it and debug the problem I saw the list looked like this...

("*scratch*"
 (\, "*Messages*")
 (\, "*Echo Area 0*")
 (\, "*Echo Area 1*")
 (\, "*Minibuf-0*")
 (\, "*Minibuf-1*")
 (\, "*Buffer List*"))


Why the \'s showed up?
