Persy’s Reviews > The Terror > Status Update

“We are all eaters of souls.”

“Why does our species always have to take our full measure of God-given misery and terror and mortality and then make it worse?”

“In the midst of life we are in death.”

“It’s as if there’s some dark God who wants to torment us.”

“The terror will not end.”

“Maybe reading is a sort of curse is all I mean. Maybe it’s better for a man to stay inside his own mind.”

“Surely this was Hell.”

“The men knew… They knew it was the Devil out there on the ice…”

“I am in the sea. For the first time in my life, I am in the sea itself. How extraordinary.”

What a wild final thought for a sailor to have.

These men lowkey be eating each other up.
