"I decided to try a local horror book club and, after signing up for their February discussion of “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” I discovered it was the second in a series so, here I am, trying to get through this one so I can get to the next one before the discussion!" — 16 hours, 8 min ago

"I could help but picture Megamind plummeting from the sky, and I know that isn’t right at all." — Feb 02, 2026 05:10PM
It was a true thought, truer than any I’d ever had, and suddenly I wanted to write about it, not in a way that people would know what I was saying but like a message in a bottle, a secret code that Dad couldn’t crack. I reached for the

“One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
Far safer, of a midnight meeting
External ghost,
Than an interior confronting
That whiter host.
Far safer through an Abbey gallop,
The stones achase,
Than, moonless, one's own self encounter
In lonesome place.
Ourself, behind ourself concealed,
Should startle most;
Assassin, hid in our apartment,
Be horror's least.
The prudent carries a revolver,
He bolts the door,
O'erlooking a superior spectre
More near.”
― The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“The sound of his deep sobs was enough to make a stone weep. It’s impossible to witness such open grief and not feel pity wrung from your heart... I couldn’t recall ever hearing a grown man cry this way. It made me think that no matter how big we grew or how old, there was always a child in us somewhere.”

“There are many ways to take a heart.
And the King of Crows uses all methods; he shies from none.
He’s happy to have it cut out all at once as I, the huntsman, did.
He’s happy to have it taken piece by piece, year by year, like a miser hoarding coins, with punishing silences, biting glances, and love served cold.
Poisonous words do the job, too. They are as sharp as knives and leave their victims hollow.”
