Oscar Wilde
“Yet one had ancestors in literature, as well as in one's own race, nearer perhaps in type and temperament”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray; The Complete Short Stories; The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays

Natalie G. Bergman
“I want," she whispered, her voice unnervingly low, almost
hollow. A chill snaked down my spine, the same sensation that
haunted my dreams. Dreams where shadows murmured secrets in
voices I didn't recognize, always just before I woke gasping in the
dark.
The room shifted, almost imperceptibly, as though the air itself
was holding its breath.”
Natalie G. Bergman, Pearl Bound
