“He’d clearly chosen a ridiculous name for himself, and gone well out of his way to acquire the trappings required to create a certain impression. No one stumbled on furniture that appalling by accident. His former self had put in quite the effort.”

“As fascinating as it would be to see that level of evil up close - I mean,
the things he does with his voice are amazing, I don’t mind saying - I did
avoid his caliber for a reason. One cannot act easily if one no longer
possesses a face.”

“Scrawny chickens roasted with garlic, basted in garlic, slathered in garlic, encrusted with garlic. Garlic chicken on a stick, garlic salt beef on a stick, garlic small unidentified bird on a stick, garlic squirrel on a stick, garlic something-claiming-to-be-aquatic-and-he-hoped-it-wasn’t-moat-squid on a stick. Garlic knots, garlic breads, garlic pretzels. Tubs of dried garlic, powdered garlic, garlic sauces, garlic jam, garlic vinegar, garlic cheese, garlic pickles, pickled garlic. Candied garlic, garlic brittle, apple cake with roasted garlic that contained rather more garlic than apple. Wreaths of garlic. Decorative sprays of garlic. Knitted garlic bulbs with faces to be played with by and inspire nightmares in children. Misshapen hats meant to suggest garlic, because naturally one wanted to wear garlic on one’s head. Garlic-shaped candles he could only pray were not scented with garlic.”
