Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars Luci shared a highlight from Cabin Black by Dan Shrader (Goodreads Author) See all Luci’s notes and highlights for this book “Drink softens the soul. It loosens the tether. It invites the dark in without question. You opened your mouths and let it crawl down your tongues like communion. Now it’s inside. Watching. Seeing through your eyes. Every breath you take now is borrowed. Every blink—permitted.”
