  1. Boy’s Life 7 Robert McCammon

  2. Quotations • “ We’re Zephyr, Rebecca. You and me. Cory. J.T. The ten men he asked who turned him down, they’re Zephyr too. It’s people’s souls and caring for each other that dries up and blows away before buildin’s and houses do” • “ Vernon came to mind. Vernon standing in that room with the trains circling little Zephyr. You know what I believe?...I believe if you find a night owl who doesn’t drink milk, you’ve got your killer.”

  3. Quotations • “ I’m goin’ inside now,” I said. “I won’t come back out.” I looked at Rebel His attention was fixed on the woods, and his tail wagged the slightest bit. Iwalked into the house, shut the door, and turned off the back porch light. Long past midnight, I awakened to the sound of Rebel’s happy bark. I knew what I would see if I went the to the back door. It was best they get to know each other without me butting in. I turned over, and I went back to sleep.” • “ But through it I could still smell a hint of English Leather. Lainie looked up, startled. She touched her tear-stained cheek. ‘Stevie?’ she said, her voice alive with hope.”

  4. Quotations • . “ Because of my interest in monsters, my buddies and even my parents concluded that Halloween was my favorite time of year. They were right, but for the wrong reasons. They thought I relished the skeleton in the closet, the bump in the night, the sheet-wrapped spook in the house on the haunted hill. I did not. What I felt in the hushed October air, as Halloween came nearer, was not the dime-store variety of hobgoblin, but titanic and mysterious forces at work. These forces could not be named; not headless horseman, not howling werewolf or grinning vampire. These forces were as old as the world and as pure in their good or evil as the elements themselves. Instead of seeing gremlins under my bed, I saw armies of the night sharpening words and axes for a clash in the swirling mist.”
