Quotes by Samuel Brower (?)

“McEntire felt his bladder go, the warmth of his urine running down the legs of his coveralls.”
― Samuel Brower, Haint

“And who the hell says aught-nine besides people who were alive in nineteen-oh-nine?” “I’m bringin’ it back. I think is sounds cool.” “You’re just trying to distract me from the fact that we’re driving across Hoth to search the house of a mysteriously missing couple with weapons in the back that have enough stopping power to kill a grizzly bear, meaning you probably think whatever ate Sean Ormond also ate the Atkinsons.” Hunter scoffed. “Hoth…nerd.” “Hey, you got the reference.” “I reckon I did. Let’s just hope there’s not one a’ them yeti things waitin’ for us when we get there.” “It’s called a wampa.” This got them both laughing.”
― Samuel Brower, Holler

“Between the discovery and subsequent loss of his cousin, the lack of sleep, and the pointlessness of his current mission, he was very near calling it quits and going home to sleep for the rest of winter. Alas, duty called, and he again reminded himself he could sleep plenty when he was dead. Which, as he was a Gallogly, would likely come soon enough.”
― Samuel Brower, Holler
