Quotes Tagged “Gothic Fantasy”

Hazel Butler
“Insects crawled across my skin, legs skittering across my flesh, numbed paths of cold left in their wake. They were the creatures that heralded my ghosts, and I knew them well, yet the revulsion they caused in those moments far exceeded anything I’d felt before.”
― Hazel Butler, Chasing Azrael
