I could see him fall into the tale, and that pleased me-- it was like hypnotizing him again, but in a better way. A more honest way. The best part, though, was hearing my mother's voice. It was like having her again, coming out from far inside me. It hurt, of course, but more often than not the best things do, I've found. You wouldn't think it would be so, but-- as the oldtimers used to say-- the world's tilted, and there's an end to it.--The Wind Through the Keyhole (Stephen King)
Lmao I just finished this and loved it to pieces. It fits wonderfully between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla (and does a nice job wrapping up Wizard and Glass in particular) and I was smiling at the ending (which is always great) and the fairy tale in it (a story within another story) was lovely and aaaaaaah it was so damned fucking good. ♥♥♥♥
