Sean Thomas McDonnell
“The Fox & Hound is old, as are these lands. My daddy used to take us here when we were children. I remember the hunts they’d have. I loved the horses, but the hounds and men scared me. And the poor fox! I begged my father not to harm the fox—to leave it be! All with tears in my eyes, of course. And now look at me, wearing a stoat—does that make me terribly cruel?”
Sean Thomas McDonnell, Blood In The Yolk

“Memory is a slow fire. It burns low. It burns long. And when it finally finds new kindling,
the whole world goes up in flames.”
Jack D. Ace, Plague House: The Nazi Formula's Curse
