She looks like she just saw a ghost, a unicorn, and Hello Kitty having a three-way in a clown car and they didn’t invite her. I
One rule of thumb in fighting is that crazy can often overcome skill and numbers, because, while a trained fighter might actually enjoy going up against another trained fighter, no one really wants to...
Mostly, Sub Rosas are the people regular people aren't supposed to know about. It's not that we don't like you; it's that you have a habit of burning us at the stake when you notice us.
Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces. Someday the right one will catch you in between the eyes and you’ll never see it coming.
It’s a whole plot of flowers ranging from a few inches to a foot high. They have petals like roses, but in the center of each blossom is a bright white set of teeth. They snap and snarl at me when I g...
Is killing someone always like this? Just the first couple of times. After that it’s like folding socks. But that’s just me. She
In a conversation like this when someone says ‘not yet’ it makes my balls ache. You know why? Because that’s where the knee is going. Because ‘not yet’ means I have to do something and it’s going to h...
If his drunkenness had legs, it would be Alexander the Great and conquer the known world. Then it would puke for a week into a solid gold toilet it stole from Zeus's guest room.
I'd like to think they're staring at me because of my white-hot animal magnetism, but I'm not Elvis. I'm Lobster Boy, hear me roar.
I prefer Abomination. It fits better on a T-shirt. I’d comp you one, but we don’t have any big enough for your ego.
I come from a long line of tall-tale talkers. Our family crest is bullets over crossed fingers and underneath it says, ‘Bullshit Über Alles.
I can’t. I scoot forward on the chair and lean close to Carolyn. She freezes, trying to keep her eyes from meeting mine. Or maybe you’re not Hunter’s friend and you gave him a hot shot. Is that what y...
How will you do it? says Sinclair. I’ll know when I see the setup, but I imagine I’ll basically just kill them all and take their stuff. Is that okay with everyone? Sandoval says, It’s fine with me. M...

You have to burn beliefs when they become convenient lies solely for the purpose of gaining and holding power.
Whatever happened, he wasn't just Mason anymore. He was Mason and something else. Like God's older brother, who takes God's money, steals his car, and fucks his girlfriend. That's Mason now. A guy who...
We’re in front of a run-down little motel, the kind you see along Route 66, but not the quaint kind you stay in. It’s more like the ones where you check in for an hour and come out with crabs or what...
Wells points at me like P. T. Barnum showing off the dog-faced boy to the masses.
This is my domain. What exists here without knowledge exists here in defiance. That doesn’t even make sense. He’s calling them liars, says Daja. I look at her. Again I ask: What does any of this have...
The only sayings I can remember are old Iggy and the Stooges lyrics. See? All this pulling is bad for my health. I think I’m having an aneurysm. Do you even know what an aneurysm is? A little furry th...
