“Abandoned houses seldom turn out to be as empty as they appear. Voices fade, but echoes linger in the dimness, and sometimes figures emerge from those shadows, if only in dreams. With styles gravitating toward the ambiguous and the existential, the artists who revolutionized Gothic horror did so by bringing it into the modern world, away from all those castle battlements and dreary moors, replacing superstitious dread with psychological sophistication.” ~ from the Introduction by Robert Dunbar
“Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.” ~ Thomas Browne
