***mild genre spoilers***




A delicious, waterlogged lovecraftian nightmare written so well as to not feel like fiction. Brilliantly employs elements of the 80's/90's/00's suburban and cultural American gothic consciousness, raw, em

Book cover for Jane Eyre
Mobile and flexible, it was never intended to be compressed in the eternal silence of solitude: it is a mouth which should speak much and smile often, and have human affection for its interlocutor.  That feature too is propitious. “I

Ray Bradbury
“Why weep at strangers dead by the road? They resemble friends unseen in forty years. Why laugh when clowns are hit by pies? We taste custard, we taste life. Why love the woman who is your wife? Her nose breathes in the air of a world that I know; therefore I love that nose. Her ears hear music I might sing half the night through; therefore I love her ears. Her eyes delight in seasons of the land; and so I love those eyes. Her tongue knows quince, peach, chokeberry, mint and lime; I love to hear it speaking. Because her flesh knows heat, cold, affliction, I know fire, snow, and pain. Shared and once again shared experience. Billions of prickling textures. Cut one sense away, cut part of life away. Cut two senses; life halves itself on the instant. We love what we know, we love what we are. Common cause, common cause, common cause of mouth, eye, ear, tongue, hand, nose, flesh, heart, and soul.
But...how to say it?
“Look,” he tried, “put two men in a rail car, one a soldier, the other a farmer. One talks war, the other wheat; and bore each other to sleep. But let one spell long-distance running, and if the other once ran the mile, why, those men will run all night like boys, sparking a friendship up from memory.”
Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

Stephen Graham Jones
“justice is just another stupid dream. All there is is luck, and mettle. But luck’s where it’s really at. The grim reaper’s always rolling those bones.”
Stephen Graham Jones, The Angel of Indian Lake

Ray Bradbury
“I'm not going to murder you, Jed, Mr. Dark, whoever, whatever you are. You're going to murder yourself because you can't stand being near people like me, not this close, close, not this long.”
Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

Ray Bradbury
“But hell! You saw the mirrors! And the mirrors shoved me half in, half out the grave. Showed me all wrinkles and rot! Blackmailed me! Blackmailed Miss Foley so she joined the grand march Nowhere, joined the fools who wanted everything! Idiot thing to want: everything. Poor damned fools. So wound up with nothing like, the dumb dog who dropped his bone to go after the reflection of the bone in the pond.”
Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

Ray Bradbury
“Did friends last forever, then? For eternity, could they be counted to a warm, round, and handsome sum?”
Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes
