Jacqui Castle liked a quote “People say that love is rare. I am not so sure. What is rare is something even more desirable. Understanding. There is no point in being loved if you are not understood. They are simply loving an idea of you they have in their mind. They are in love with love. They are in love with their loving. To be understood. And not only that, but to be understood and appreciated once understood. That is what matters.” Matt Haig

A treat for fans of the macabre. A haunting, exhilarating exploration into the mind and influence of a master. Like a black cat, Edgar endears itself to you with wit and whimsy.

Quotes by Jacqui Castle (?)

“I knew the fear was necessary. Fear protected, fear ensured survival. Fear was the evolutionary instinct embedded in each of us, the instinct that told us to freeze when we heard a rattlesnake, or halt when we came to a cliff’s edge. Yes, the Board used that fear, but it was worth the price. Security was our reward.”
― Jacqui Castle, The Seclusion
