8 Quotes by Emily Carroll

Oh, but you must travel through those woods again and again... said a shadow at the window... and you must be lucky to avoid the wolf every time...But the wolf... the wolf only needs enough luck to find you once.

But the worst kind of monster was the BURROWING KIND. The sort that crawled into you and made a home there. The sort you couldn't name, the sort you couldn't see. The monster that ate you alive from the inside out.

I married my love in the springtime, / but by summer he’d locked me away. / He’d murdered me dead by the autumn, / and by winter I was naught but decay

Come take a walk in the woods and see what awaits you there...

I dreamt I woke upon a boat.A rocking boat.A quiet boat.On a smooth black sea we float.Away, awayaway.I dreamt a Captain dressed in grey.I dreamt I wore a long white coat.I dreamt a stone caught in my throat.I dreamt I chokedand chokedand choked.A grey shore,slopes decorated with dead trees and littered with our limbs.I dreamt my legs were long and palemade of smoke.I choked and choked.And when I woke I wrote and wroteas though it all might just floataway!

But the worst kind of monster was the burrowing kind. The sort that crawled into you and made a home there. The sort you couldn’t name, the sort you couldn’t see. The monster that ate you alive from the inside out.

It came from the woods. Most strange things do.

But the wolf... the wolf only needs enough luck to find you once.
