These two quotes From "Autumn People". They explain EVERYTHING, that means anything. Had to share.
“For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth....Such are the autumn people.”
“That country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain.”
these are Beauties! i've been collecting old horror paperbacks lately. it's becoming addicting!!!
i was able to snag some cool vintage, Lovecraft, Ira Levin &&&& a Lovely copy of Dandelion Wine (the bantam one with the skull in the bottle, i remember my grandnanny having when i was tiny..
WHA?!?!?!?! I had no idea that Autumn People was a book from Ray Bradbury! I used to have an Autumn People print from Frank Frazetta which I have since lost during a move =( But a book? I need to have this....esepcially after reading the two quotes.
