Mrs. Oliphant
“A medida que mis nervios se relajaban y me familiarizaba con aquel extraño fenómeno (estoy convencido de que el cerebro humano termina por asimilar cualquier cosa), la impresión de que una desgraciada y miserable criatura se paseaba de un lado a otro de la puerta vacía era cada vez más fuerte.”
Mrs. Oliphant, The Open Door

Bram Stoker
“There was something so strange in all this, something so weird and impossible to imagine, that there grew on me a sense of my being in some way the sport of opposite forces - the mere vague idea of which seemed in a way to paralyse me. I was certainly under some form of mysterious protection. From a distant country had come, in the very nick of time, a message that took me out of the danger of the snow-sleep and the jaws of the wolf.”
Bram Stoker, Dracula's Guest
