The Girls of Peculiar Quotes

“No one hears how they whisper, Think me. The words blacken and climb until she can’t see past their spiny tops.”
― Catherine Pierce, The Girls of Peculiar

“Her mind won’t listen, veers off into the forest marked Forbidden, holds a knife to her throat when she begs it to stop. For safety, she drinks her own guilt. It inoculates her. Everyone thinks she is the good daughter, her world a gold-leaf illustration. No one knows the words seed themselves in her brain.”
― Catherine Pierce, The Girls of Peculiar
