"The kiss that unlocked the hunger and drove Varadin to bite the dead flesh off his wife's lips and Ghena to dig her nails deep underneath her husband's skin at the base of his neck and pull the large strips to her mouth where she chewed with gusto and swallowed."

I'm normally an enthusiastic consumer of cannibalism as an allegory for love/hunger/want/whatever, but idk about this one lol" — 8 hours, 34 min ago

The Reading Frog’s Quotes

“It’s a rough, uneven sound, his tears cut from wild seas and broken skies, all the usual apathy and sardonic quips stripped. This is a moment so raw and skeletal it feels wrong to see.
Evander doesn’t leave.
He drinks it in. He eats it. He wants to watch.”
― C.G. Drews, Hazelthorn

“Can you understand the agony of hating humans so much but shoving that hatred aside to look just like one? The desire to become a member of society always overpowers the shame of being embraced by their system.”
― Dolki Min, Walking Practice

“If you start unlocking doors, you might find things you don’t want to see. Or worse, you might wake up.”
“I’m not asleep,” Evander says, but heat prickles along his skin.
“Whatever you say,” Laurie says.”
― C.G. Drews, Hazelthorn

“Acting as a woman is far more intricate than acting as a man. Men can walk however they like, but a woman must walk like a woman.”
