“Here, at the edges,
Whispering to you,
And we’re not alone; not alone
Here, in the dark.
We are behind the door, in the corners,
In the room where you’ve just extinguished the light.
We flicker in the shadow you cast on the wall.
We are the prickle on the back of your neck.
Curled, in words unspoken,
We are the shiver on your uneasy flesh,
The creep of the unknown on your skin.
Can you feel us?
Here, at the edges.
From the Foreword of Cautionary Tales - by Emmanuelle de Maupassant”
― Cautionary Tales: darkly delicious folktales inspired by the ancient lore of Eastern Europe
