Quotes by Rory McClannahan (?)

“I had visions of an old horror movie in which Frankenstein’s monster stalked me through the streets. Another thought occurred to me: Maybe I was the monster, and villagers with pitchforks and torches were chasing me.
From the upcoming book, "The Shadow-Man.”

“People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.”
