“You don't build a labyrinth to keep something out. You build it so you can lie in wait.”

“The thing inside Dae- the thing rapidly becoming the thing outside Dae, around Dae, subsuming Dae- stretches a few more dripping legs out. His own legs, his human legs, are curling into him like a dying spider's. His head is mercifully hidden behind the bulk of his own torso but Riley remembers the way his eyeballs sloshed inside his skull and she knows if he were to turn his face towards him now they would be empty, oozing hollows, the soft membranes slipping out and down his face like egg whites.”
