Book cover for Kindred
The expression in her eyes had gone from sadness – she seemed almost ready to cry – to anger. Quiet, almost frightening anger. Her husband dead, three children sold, the fourth defective, and her having to thank God for the defect.

Shirley Jackson
“To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. Horror defies our boundaries and illuminates our souls.”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

Colin  Baldwin
“The fragrance of the wildflowers was no longer sweet. After years of fighting, and often soaked by rain, their once handsome uniforms, immaculate when the soldiers had posed for studio portraits or during private farewells, were now tarnished with a noxious layer of perspiration, campfire smoke and cordite. The blood spatters, some from their comrades, some from the enemy, had become ingrained in the fabric and were now indiscernible from the overall grime.”
Colin Baldwin, A Soldier's Quartet

Maggie Nelson
“Mostly I have felt myself becoming a servant of sadness. I am still looking for the beauty in that.”
Maggie Nelson, Bluets

Holly Black
“Well, even if the serpent bites off your head,” says Tatterfell, “the rest of you will still look good.”

“That’s the spirit,” I tell her.”
Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing
