"I used to think there was such a thing as emptiness, that there were places in the world one could go and be alone. This, I think, is still true, but the error in my reasoning was to assume that alone was somewhere you could go, rather than somewhere you had to be left."

"I made faces like the faces on the rocks, and I twisted myself about like the twisted ones, and I lay down flat on the ground like the dead ones."

being in your 20s is like "if i can just get through this week i'll be ok" but it's every freaking week
"People are often frightened by the night, but it is in daylight where the real monsters hide. They wear smiles, and they are loved—or else, believed. Those are the most dangerous."
"When history fails to shed light on the truth, myth creates its own."
"I love you. I love you. I love you. I'll write it in waves. In skies. In my heart. You'll never see, but you will know. I'll be all the poets, I'll kill them all and take each one's place in turn, and every time love's written in all the strands it will be to you."
"My mother may be too weak to protect herself, and my sister too young. But I'm neither of those things."
"It was the power of compulsive creation. The power of gods. Such a shame, she thought, that the only way he could access it was through pain and anguish."
"Her heart turned itself inside out, read aloud the writing in red on her arteries and valves, told her pointedly that love was never wholly the grand battles and explosive deeds."
"Regret would always clothe her in a heavy shroud, change the way she moved and the way she met the world. But so too did love. And it was warmer, thicker."
"Broken things called to broken things, tried to slot their shards together in the hopes that they would fit."
"This house eats and is eaten...

A House with a terrifying appetite haunts a broken family in this atmospheric horror, perfect for fans of Mexican Gothic."

"Cut down deep and grab what beats beneath, and it is love that will survive after everything else has perished."
"Hope was the most vicious evil of them all, the thing that had managed to thrive in Pandora's box among misery, and disease, and sadness—and what could endure alongside others with such teeth if it didn't have such ghastly claws of its own?"

Massive cliffhanger. I would rather wait years for the next book(s) than have a rushed an unsatisfying ending.

"There are thousands of monsters in the world—not just the ones in folktales, but the ones in real life who push girls in front of trains—and yet, there are still people who think Cora Zeng is the most fearsome of all."
"Why look at a defenseless girl when the obvious monster bared its teeth? She'd forgotten that terrifying creatures were often wronged girls."
