“They hang just above the gravel and sagebrush like mirrors that they only bother reflecting anything when it suits them, like holes in the wide, carnivorous sky.”

“Known locally as the ‘Jaws House’ (formally the John Sowden House), it looks a bit like a gigantic great white shark and a Mayan temple had a baby.”

“A poet must have seen something of the world. He cannot sit in a chair, staring out the window, hoping Calliope is going to shit out brilliance for him.”

“The third Thursday of every month, Carson Holly meets up with one or two of the other members of the tiny cabal of horror movie aficionados who called themselves The Groovy Ghoulies, after the early seventies cartoon series.”

“My parents are freaks. They’re always worried I’m gonna get hit by a car, drown in the river, or die in a fire.” I feel seen! 😂

Book Four
“It made me feel as though I had just doomed all five of us.” I sure hope not! 😬

Arrival at the First House.

Rereading this on audio. Enjoyed reading this the 1st time in print, but Moira Quirk’s incredible narration is making this a whole new experience!

“I often theorized that his acting out at school was the equivalent of a valve letting off steam to prevent a systemic meltdown.”

Chapter 16 : The Werewolf House

“The problem with just looking at the big picture is you forget that’s it’s made up of a lot of small pictures.”

Chapter 10 : The Rebels Of Echo Base.

I’m loving this book.

“I want you to remember this, Mazzone. I want you to think back on this as one of the best times of your life.” This is giving me bad vibes in the same way I would get them whenever someone would say “it sure is quiet” back when I worked the emergency room! 😬

Chapter 2. Been too long since I’ve read a Malfi book.
Serial killer, small town, a close group of young friends who are most definitely getting caught up in it. I am in my element! 🙂

Not really enjoying this, but I’m going to finish it. 😕

“The fire flared up and swallowed the dry paper, and I found my thoughts shifting to Nazi book burnings. Repressive societies always seemed to understand the danger of ‘wrong’ ideas.”

“That’s history. It happened whether it offends you or not.”

Still not loving this, and keep finding myself drifting off listening to the audiobook. 😕

“Like the Nazis, anti bellum whites had know quite a bit about torture- quite a bit more than I ever wanted to learn.”
This book should be handed out to every jackass calling for America to be great again. Not that any of them would actually read it. More than likely, they would probably try to ban it.
