“It felt strange to let a stranger in. Every little detail that he normally ignored seemed glaring now. The dagger, left on the table. A shopping list written in a script not of this world. The breastplate mounted above the fireplace, bearing a crest: a dragon locked in battle with a lion beneath a crown of stars.”
― Elisabeth G. Mark, Epilogue of Kings

“Dans ses rêves englué, le dormeur affolé cherche son dernier souffle.

Pendant que, dans les rues et les cours, les mille yeux de la Pieuvre veillent.

Nul n'a jamais échappé à ses bras visqueux, du Seigneur jusqu'au simple gueux.

Rêveur, méfie-toi de tes rêves éveillés. Derrière toi il surgit. Qui ? Le Crâne qui rit.”
― Gess, La Malédiction de Gustave Babel

“La même barque verte dans laquelle Jim et Jo-Ann Larkin avaient trouvé la mort avait convoyé le cadavre de leur fille à-travers le Styx”
― Michael McDowell, Cold Moon Over Babylon

“Kevin and I talk about your [...] daddy issues all the time. [...] It's not entirely your fault that you're mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of grandeur, and I know you're physically incapable of holding a decent conversation [...] but I don't think any of us should have to put us with this much of your bullshit. Pity only gets you so many concessions and you used yours up about six insults ago. So please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone.”
― Nora Sakavic, The Raven King
