Quotes by Christopher Conlon (?)

“He removed the stopper and sniffed the contents, which smelled strongly of licorice. With a start, Graham realized what he was holding in his hand was absinthe, which had been banned in the United States since 1912.”

“Fenley had never known the man, and, judging from what little he had read about him, was damn glad of it. If there was one thing Fenley despised, it was men who mistreated women. And Belasco was the worst of the lot, judging by how he treated his wives and sister.”
― Christopher Conlon, He Is Legend: An Anthology Celebrating Richard Matheson
