“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality.”
― Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

“A monstrous bird unfurled its wings inside Amy’s chest and her anger felt bigger than the world.”
― Grady Hendrix, Horrorstör

“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”
― Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

“I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear such a big secret. It might not fit in my head and then it would spill out everywhere.”
― Paul Tremblay, A Head Full of Ghosts
