"I used to dream of dragons. I would find them, panting, pacing. Sung inside damp caverns. When I lived through them they would release their riches in a stinking swell of gore and glittering jewels…and I, beneath…would find stillness in the hot viscera."-Emily Carroll, A Guest in the House
"At night, every noise could be her. I know she’s here now, right now, even though she won’t show herself to me. (I tried to find her the other night, down by the front door like before, but nothing came to greet me this time.) And I just can’t shake the feeling… that there’s a guest in the house, and I am being a terrible hostess."-Emily Carroll, A Guest in the House
"David tells me the first week they lived here, Crystal had nightmares about the attic, about things dripping down from it at night. She would stop crying until he put a lock on it. There’d been animals in there, David said. Making nests. Are they still there, I wonder? Did they just learn to be silent? What did Sheila do when Crystal cried out at night?"-Emily Carroll, A Guest in the House
