"I'm a handful of pages into this one and struggling. I definitely prefer horror fiction firmly rooted in character and the cold, distant third-person narration here is making things very difficult." Dec 11, 2023 12:33PM

Glen Cook
“Every ounce of my cynicism is supported by historical precedent.”
Glen Cook, Shadow Games

H.P. Lovecraft
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.”
H.P. Lovecraft

Steven Erikson
“You stand before a god! Speak your eloquence for all posterity. Be Profound!"
"Profound ... huh." Temper was silent for a long moment, studying the cobbles of the alley mouth. And then he lifted his helmed head faced Shadowthrone, and said "Fuck off.”
Steven Erikson, The Crippled God

Glen Cook
“Evil is relative…You can’t hang a sign on it. You can’t touch it or taste it or cut it with a sword. Evil depends on where you are standing, pointing your indicting finger.”
Glen Cook, The Black Company

Neil Gaiman
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
Neil Gaiman, Coraline
