Urban Gothic Quotes

“I am the voice of the silenced. I am the fist of the weak. I am the rage of the helpless. I am the slayer of giants and the king of the night.”
― Philip Henry, Freak

“Roadkill Rocker by Stewart Stafford

I ordered madness on toast.
My reflection pooled on the floor,
splashed around in it for ages,
until room service imploded the door.

“Time to pay the piper, son,” it growled —
“It’s my record label’s tab, you’ll find out!”
They clay-pigeoned my sandwich at me,
my last morsel before getting kicked out.

Housekeeping surveyed the wreckage,
this one-man party animal slunk to his feet:
“Don’t I know you from somewhere?”
“Yeah — I’m roadkill from down the street!”
