Book cover for Crave to Conquer (Myth of Omega, #1)
The squelch, pop, and ripping of flesh and ligaments filled the Great Hall as Drocco’s dagger tore through the man’s neck.

Well no one can accuse Ms. Ellis of burying the action.

“To love someone is firstly to confess: I'm prepared to be devastated by you.”
Billy-Ray Belcourt, A History of My Brief Body

George Saunders
“He came out of nothingness, took form, was loved, was always bound to return to nothingness.”
George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo

Eric LaRocca
“That's a thing people don't talk about enough - that there are people who will judge even the way you mourn your loved ones.”
Eric LaRocca, At Dark, I Become Loathsome
tags: grief

Christopher Buehlman
“But that family was alone. They would be alone no matter who came or how much food was brought to the house afterwards. The father of a dead son, when that son had no brothers, must stand alone with his surname dying in his mind. The mother of a dead son must stand alone even among her sisters with the memory of that child's birth and the wasted milk of his nursing.”
Christopher Buehlman, Those Across the River

George Saunders
“One feels such love for the little ones, such anticipation that all that is lovely in life will be known by them, such fondness for that set of attributes manifested uniquely in each: mannerisms of bravado, of vulnerability, habits of speech and mispronouncement and so forth; the smell of the hair and head, the feel of the tiny hand in yours—and then the little one is gone! Taken! One is thunderstruck that such a brutal violation has occurred in what had previously seemed a benevolent world. From nothingness, there arose great love; now, its source nullified, that love, searching and sick, converts to the most abysmal suffering imaginable.”
George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo
