About This Quote

As a child, I was never afraid of the dark. I fell asleep easily and was awakened by the birds. The dark of night didn’t frighten me, but Blackcliff’s night is different. It is heavy with a silence that makes you look over your shoulder, a silence that feels like a living thing.

As I turn to stare at the darkness, I hear it move closer. Suddenly, there is a crackle of light and the night is gone. Only a lingering scent of smoke remains in the air.
