• "Her eyes began to glow like barbecue coals. Her fingers stretched, turning into talons. Her jacket melted into large, leathery wings. She wasn't human. She was a shriveled hag with bat wings and claws and a mouth full of yellow fangs, and she was about to slice me to ribbons."

• "It would've turned your blood to fire and your bones to sand and you'd be dead."

• "He was seven feet tall, easy, his arms and legs like something from the cover of 'Muscle Man' Magazine - bulging biceps and triceps and a bunch of other 'ceps, all stuffed like baseballs under vein-webbed skin...snotty nostrils with a gleaming brass ring..."

• "Her camouflage jacket was sopping and she smelled like sewage."
