Lafferty, Avram Davidson, and Steve Rasnic and Melanie Tem. Gra ...more

Quotes by Charles L. Grant (?)

“No one, at night, really believes he'll live forever.”
― Charles L Grant

“The cover was pebbled black leather, the pages onionskin, and he opened it carefully. It was his first Bible, the one his mother had given him, the one that had taken its time showing him what he was supposed to do with his life, his size, that voice of his. It was the one used for his ordination, and when he had buried his mother on a autumn hillside in Tennesee five years ago. King James. He didn't care about the scholars or the accuracy or the bringing of his church into whatever century they claimed it was these days; he cared about the poetry, and about the comfort it brought to those who needed to hear it.”
― Charles Grant

“Mary Shelley, Guy Endore, Bram Stoker, leather-bound and silent while Martin laughed and strutted into the bathroom to take a quick shower. Beaumont and Bloch, Lovecraft and Leiber, tattered and yellowed while he sang a tuneless melody of a woman beautiful beyond description and the light she would bring to his starving eyes, and the words she would conjure for his inkless pen. While Saki and Dunsany stared blindly at the red rising sun.”
― Charles L. Grant, Tales from the Nightside
