Quotes by Edward D. Hoch (?)

“I always thought it was a myth about electric eels having enough of a charge to kill someone.” “It’s no myth. I’ve studied up on it for this assignment. The electrophorus electricus grows to a length of eight or ten feet, and weighs perhaps as much as ninety pounds.”
― Edward D. Hoch, The Spy and the Thief
