“steady my hands. “But when you live with someone day in and day out, and they drink like he does?” My voice grew quiet. “It’s a slow death, like someone carving out little pieces of you with a spoon instead of a knife.”

“Why didn’t you just leave? she imagines they’d ask. That question simultaneously infuriates and demoralizes her. Imagine the frog in the pot of boiling water, she can see herself saying. Then imagine that, during the first few instances of the water warming by a few degrees, the frog was also systematically belittled, worn down, stripped of its agency, and gaslit out of taking the very remedies that could have motivated it to escape. Do you see now? Do you see why leaving wasn’t only not an option, it was as likely as starting a little frog pond on the dark side of the moon?”

“I was going to make the little hound here part of your display, but you know, against all odds, I’ve found myself growing to like the little guy! You were going to be a girl transforming into a werewolf, but now I think you’ll be part of my Hansel & Gretel display. I needed a trespassing little snoop!”

“Eve wasn't sure what right the clown had to butcher the poor girl like that. In fact, most horror movies made her angry. Though the 'final girl' usually got out alive, she was stripped of so much by the time the credits rolled.”

“Kyle's throat caught.
His boastful expression turned to panic. He made the universal sign of choking at her, and stamped his feet like a child having a temper tantrum in the candy aisle.
Chloe did not move.”

“The ever-present macabre, a universal dance,
You cannot hide, whether you wield crossbow or lance.
Like the bones of the house in which you dwell,
Death will come, to drag your soul to hell.”
― The Book of the Macabre

“You can't drink 'English afternoon tea' in the morning," the barista said to her, his eyes blazing like shards of crystal meth about to ignite. "Do you want to be responsible for fucking up the universe?”

“Defeated, Jo turned her head as the knives hurdled through the air. There was another photograph on the wall: a shot of Franny Jo had never seen before. As the woman in the photo watched her knives driven home, the corners of her mouth turned up. For the first time ever, Jo was privy to a genuine smile on the lips of Franny Trymark.”
