Mitchell Lüthi
“Orpheus had found his wife waiting for him and bargained with Hades and Persephone for her release. But Dietmar had no sweet songs to soften the Devil's heart, only his love. Perhaps he would be forced to remain so that they might go free? He would take that bargain and be glad for it.”
Mitchell Lüthi, Pilgrim: A Medieval Horror

R.L. Stine
“Lucky catch, Fatso!" Casey called. Margaret hated the name Fatso even more than she hated Princess. People in her family jokingly called her Fatso because she was so thin, like father.”
R.L. Stine, Stay Out of the Basement
