”Dan walked up the front steps and found himself in a large entrance hall. The enormous chandelier couldn‘t overcome the #darkness caused by all the wood paneling and overstuffed furniture. Through a grand archway across from the entrance, Dan spotted a wide staircase, and halls leading in on either side. Even the students bustling in and out did nothing to dispel the feeling of heaviness.” #QuotsyOct19 #AllHallowsRead #GiveAScaryBook

“Root of hemlock digg‘d i‘ the dark, Liver of blaspheming Jew, Gall of goat, and slips of yew Sliver‘d in the #moon‘s eclipse, Nose of Turk, and Tartar‘s lips, 30 Finger of birth-strangle‘d babe Ditch-deliver‘d by a drab,—Make the gruel thick and slab: Add thereto a tiger‘s chaudron, For the ingredients of our caldron.” #QuotsyOct19 #AllHallowsRead #GiveAScaryBook

“The place didn‘t feel haunted, or ominous, or #spooky. Not after the mines, not after the bowels of the earth. It looked diaphanous in comparison.” #QuotsyOct19 #AllHallowsRead #GiveAScaryBook

“He stopped just outside the circle of lights. Here, buried in the sea of corn, the murmur of the voices, the faint hum of the generator, and the #bizarre violence of the crime scene seemed far away. A breeze came drifting past, only a slight movement of the muggy air, but it set the corn around him swaying and rustling.” #QuotsyOct19 #AllHallowsRead #GiveAScaryBook

“Fawn nodded enthusiastically. She held Mimi by the arm—something Mom had made. The yellow #yarn hair was matted now, the fabric on her hands and feet worn through and patched in places. She had a carefully stitched smile that always kind of creeped Ruthie out and reminded her of a scar, or of lips sewn closed to keep the thing quiet. Mimi was always whispering to Fawn, telling her secrets.” #QuotsyOct19 #AllHallowsRead #GiveAScaryBook

Grandpa said, rubbing at his jaw, “it‘s because when you change back to like we are now, it‘s always like you just shaved. Even if you had a full-on mountain-man #beard the day before.” He made a show of taking in Darren‘s smooth jawline then, got me to look too. “Babyface. That‘s what you always call a werewolf who was out getting in six different kinds of trouble the night before. That‘s how you know what they‘ve been doing.” #QuotsyOct19

On the last day of June, Donna Trenton came back from downtown Castle Rock (the locals called it “downstreet,” but at least she hadn't picked up that particular Maine-ism yet), where she had dropped Tad off at his afternoon daycamp & picked up a few groceries at the Agway Market.She was hot and tired, & the sight of Steve Kemp's battered Ford Econoline van with the #gaudy desert murals painted on the sides suddenly turned her furious. #QuotsyOct19

“I don't like to be tricked,” she said softly, and lowered her head. She hesitated for just a second and then passed him by. She stopped and turned and he suddenly saw #dignity in her, something so natural that he doubted if she was even aware of it. “Do You People think you can just go on tricking me forever? I know who you go around with.” #QuotsyOct19 #AllHallowsRead #GiveAScaryBook

Every year for the past 10 years I give my daughter scary books for Halloween, this is one of this years picks #AllHallowsRead #GiveAScaryBook
I guess I‘ll reread some Lovecraft before diving in.
