“Madness, as we call it, manifests itself in many ways. People do not always wail and shriek as you say your mother did. But it does seem to run in families, I have observed, particularly through the female line. Hysteria – womb to womb. Diseased blood will out. There is no hiding from it, I am afraid.”
― Laura Purcell, The Silent Companions

“The darkness and the night made her see monsters where there were only shadows, screams where a creaking door opened, whispers where the wind swayed.”
― Aran Maza, Garden Of Shadows

“My love is a haunted house, a ghost possessing his own body, a fire that burns itself alive. A light almost too bright to look at, but I forced myself to look as long as I could.”
― Rose Szabo, What Big Teeth

“There’s an art to fleeing casually. It’s not easy, running from something that might kill you while not attracting stares.”
― Ransom Riggs, The Conference of the Birds
