"Struggling with the structure a bit, but interesting ideas. Hanging in there only bc this is on one of the goodreads lists and bc that one section featuring almond milk was SO incredible that it almost makes up for everything else feeling lackluster" — Dec 10, 2025 11:59PM

“Ransom Riggs grew up in Florida but now makes his home in the land of peculiar children—Los Angeles.

“Something I heard an archaeologist say in Oslo about deep time returns to me: Time isn’t deep, it is always already all around us. The past ghosts us, lies all about us less as layers, more as drift. Here that seems right, I think. We ghost the past, we are its eerie.”

“We all carry trace fossils within us – the marks that the dead and the missed leave behind. Handwriting on an envelope; the wear on a wooden step left by footfall; the memory of a familiar gesture by someone gone, repeated so often it has worn its own groove in both air and mind: these are trace fossils too. Sometimes, in fact, all that is left behind by loss is trace – and sometimes empty volume can be easier to hold in the heart than presence itself.”
