“Imagine a world without shadows. You cannot touch a shadow, but a world without them is a hard world, and flat.” -Franny Billingsley from The Folk Keeper
“Stories have no point if they don’t absorb our terror.” -Don DeLillo
“If I were a writer, how I would enjoy being told the novel is dead. How liberating to work in the margins, outside a central perception. You are the ghoul of literature. Lovely.” -Don DeLillo
