angel thinking vampire
I think angels definitely offer all the imaginative possibilities that vampires do, and I think they've actually been popular in Western culture for longer than vampires have been. I hope they become a part of the culture again in a new way.
heaven humanity earth
These moments were wondrous and divine, instances when the gossamer curtain between heaven and earth ripped and all of humanity witnessed the marvel of the ethereal beings.
girl fall angel
As a girl, I used to zip myself into a snowsuit, fall into the deepest snowdrift I could find and sweep my arms and legs into the powder, making snow angels that would crumble within minutes of their genesis. Despite their rapid disappearance, something about these frozen, evanescent angels has stayed with me ever since.
dark joy listening
I started listening to the Cure around the time I discovered Joy Division and, like Joy Division, they have shaped my taste in all sorts of dark and dreary ways.
real writing fiction
I always knew I wanted to write really imaginative fiction - fiction that was very different from my real life.
succeed enough
When the time comes, we can only expect that we have learned enough to succeed.
real dying desire
There are always those who would put on armour and go into battle. but the real genius is in finding a way to get what you desire without dying for it.
shade
One is but a shade of the other.
