“When did I know that my life as I knew it was breaking apart? I don't remember the day my father left, or my mother's face when she told me. When did I become who I am now? Was my future persona added to childhood Cecilia layer by layer, like brush strokes to an oil painting? Or, did one Cecilia become another as a result of certain episodes? And if so, which episodes were the most influential?”
― Alex Dahl, The Boy at the Door

“I want to tell him that I need him here, that I'm afraid of being alone with the strange boy, of what this all means. But how do we ever tell anyone that we need them? I want him to know that inside of me there is a gash so deep and so black that it holds me in a perennial iron grip of anxiety and terror, and that it has been like that for a very long time.”
― Alex Dahl, The Boy at the Door

“Being an avid mystery reader as an adolescent does not prepare you for real life. I truly imagined that my adult existence would be far more booklike than it turned out to be. I thought, for example, that there would be several moments in which I got into a cab to follow someone. I thought I'd attend far more readings of someone's will, and that I'd need to know how to pick a lock, and that any time I went on vacation (especially to old creaky inns or rented lake houses) something mysterious would happen. I thought train rides would inevitably involve a murder, that sinister occurrences would plague wedding weekends, and that old friends would constantly be getting in touch to ask for help, to tell me that their lives were in danger. I even thought quicksand would be an issue.”
― Peter Swanson, Eight Perfect Murders
