Marc Fitch and 3 other people liked Sean Carlin's review of There Was No One There: "When I was still a bit too young for them (perhaps because I was), there was nothing so terrifying, so illicit, so irresistibly nightmare-inducing as the late-night horror anthologies on local TV.

My first foray with Didion, which makes me feel kinda dumb, but this was excellent prose, if not a tad too minimalist at times. Still, a writer with a vision.

Quotes by Marc E. Fitch (?)

“She went to college where I knew she would call everyone honey and darling and all the men would love her. They would all love her and try to own her - try to break her legs to keep her from moving, and each of them would be frustrated and disappointed in the end. It was about loving someone who would never love you back or, maybe loving someone who loved everything, everybody, the same. She was too much and we all sacrificed a bit of ourselves for her.”
― Marc E. Fitch, Old Boone Blood
