“And I’d loved Ellie like a Springsteen suicide run, all heat and revved-up engines and neither of us caring that the hundred miles of freeway ahead of us might end at a brick wall, the way most people only get to love when they’re young.”
J. Reuben Appelman, The Kill Jar: Obsession, Descent, and a Hunt for Detroit’s Most Notorious Serial Killer

“Some people, their particular genius is in taking in, rather than giving out.”
J. Reuben Appelman, The Kill Jar: Obsession, Descent, and a Hunt for Detroit’s Most Notorious Serial Killer

“Never be a prisoner of your past. It was just a lesson, not a life sentence.” And later: “It’s not all sunshine & rainbows but a good amount of it actually is.”
J. Reuben Appelman, While Idaho Slept: The Hunt for Answers in the Murders of Four College Students – A Literary Chronicle of the Idaho Student Murders
