I wanted to keep it up for debate (I believe a compelling case can be made for either explanation), but in my heart of hearts, I believe the spirits were real!

| I blurbed this one! My blurb: “Delightfully devious and gleefully gory, Victorian Psycho is the perfect kind of unhinged. I gobbled it up in a single sitting and still crave more.” | |
“It’s a dangerous thing, to try and give someone everything. One day, you might find you’ve given away things you should’ve kept. Some parts of us must remain inviolate if we are to survive as a person.”

“There’s a reason the word ‘haunting’ is rarely used in a positive way. To never be free of someone, well, that’s not always a comfort.”

“I can't help wanting to live. Like other creatures, I am hell-bent on surviving.”

“I was never a happy child. I think that, if I had been, things would have gone very differently with me. For one, I don’t think Ruth would have become my constant companion. Spirits like her are not drawn to the happy and carefree; they want salt, be it blood or be it tears.”
