Excerpt:

Having a human around only made those starker. Bringing back things he could be sure if he remembered or not. The smells of smoke in his sleep. The yelling. The blood. It was hard to be certain where his memory ended and his imagination began, especially in the middle of the night.

The only thing keeping the redhead sane was the letters from Aiden in their enchanted notebooks. They’d swapped them a few years ago, holding onto them to keep in touch. It was a nice way to know the person he was closest to was doing alright when he wasn’t ready to bring him home for the winter, and he wasn’t sure Aiden would appreciate it either. Cats and Wolves weren’t known for getting along, even if Aiden was stable. Comparatively.

Usually, it took longer into the winter before Lambert had to rely on the book like he was now.

Dripped out at Comic Con

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.
