| Wow. This one goes pretty hard, even compared to other Andrew Joseph White horror novels, which start at a baseline of... A Lot. Only read this one if you are very prepared for disturbing images. But if you are, it's good. There have been other horro ...more | |

“But even if I found somewhere to hide, how long would it be before my stepmother showed up with a clever disguise and a shiny red apple? I’d probably end up lying in a glass coffin until the trump of doom. Or at best, I’d find myself engaged to a different prince. One with a tendency toward necrophilia. The coffin kissers are the worst.”

“Your cat,’ Ari tells her, ‘keeps dropping on my head.’ ‘Oh,’ Chloë says. ‘Yeah, I’m sorry. He does that. Usually only with people he really likes, though.’ ‘It’s amazing! Why – no, what I mean is, how? How does he do that?’ ‘He perches on the door lintels, waiting for someone to come through.’ ‘Amazing,’ he repeats, peering at the narrow beam atop the doorway to the kitchen. ‘They’re only, like, half an inch wide.’ ‘He’s very graceful.’ ‘Cats are such fantastic creatures, don’t you think?’ He continues to stare at the lintel, as if willing it to divulge its secrets.”

“I once read somewhere that all cats are little Buddhists. They attempt to reduce your attachment to material possessions by destroying them.”

“Above her, the upstairs neighbours are doing something that makes repeated heavy thumping sounds. Chloë wonders what it could be. Basketball? Step dancing? Cattle rustling?”
