"Stories 11-20. The plant has eyes. The blobs of light don't want you to leave. The painting must be completed, no matter the cost. Humans give shape to horrors through their fears. Soot monster in the chimney. A fog with squirming shapes draws near. Rituals try to bring the Old Ones to this dimension. A book that must be listened to, until the cost is too great. A ship that enters a horrifying realm." — Mar 17, 2026 05:45AM

“The right belief is like a good cloak, I think. If it fits you well, it keeps you warm and safe. The wrong fit however, can suffocate.”

“Because humans are complicated beasts, the monster said. How can a queen be both a good witch and a bad witch? How can a prince be a murderer and a saviour? How can an apothecary be evil-tempered but right-thinking? How can a parson be wrong-thinking but good-hearted? How can invisible men make themselves more lonely by being seen?
"I don't know," Connor shrugged, exhausted. "Your stories never made any sense to me."
The answer is that it does not matter what you think, the monster said, because your mind will contradict itself a hundred times each day. You wanted her to go at the same time you were desperate for me to save her. Your mind will believe comforting lies while also knowing the painful truths that make those lies necessary. And your mind will punish you for believing both.”
