Ronald Malfi answered Vedran Maras's question: First and foremost, thank you very much for your novels. I’ve read everything by King and McCammon, but your works are as good (if not better).

Quotes by Ronald Malfi

“I’m so sick of political correctness. I’m suffocated by it. We’re so goddamn politically correct that we lose our individualism, our definition as human beings. Don’t you agree?”
― Ronald Malfi, Snow

“It has been said that nature does not know extinction. In effect, it knows only change: nothing ever truly disappears, for there is always something—some part, some particle, some formidable semblance—left behind. You can boil water into vapor, but it hasn’t disappeared. Curiosity killed the cat, but condensation brought it back.”
― Ronald Malfi, Floating Staircase

“You can run away, but darkness has quick feet and large wings, and it will follow you...”
