Goblins...scents for the dark and sweet, temptations to relish under the stairs, forbidden hallways where they lurk in cracks in walls and sweetened by the staleness of decay and spider webs in the heart of this haunted house.
“Children don't read to find their identity, to free themselves from guilt, to quench the thirst for rebellion or to get rid of alienation. They have no use for psychology.... They still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff.... When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish illusions.” ~Isaac Bashevis
