“I love you, Gretchen Lang. You are my reflection and my shadow and I will not let you go. We are bound together forever and ever! Until Halley’s Comet comes around again. I love you dearly and I love you queerly and no demon is bigger than this!”
― Grady Hendrix, My Best Friend's Exorcism

“By the power of Phil Collins, I rebuke you!” she said. “By the power of Phil Collins, who knows that you coming back to me is against all odds, in his name I command you to leave this servant of Genesis alone...
By the power of The Thorn Birds - she cried - by the sacred strength of My Sweet Audrina and Forever...
By the power of lost retainers and Jamaica and bad cornrows and fireflies and Madonna, by all these things I rebuke you”
― Grady Hendrix

“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”
― Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

“Corn dogs," the exorcist said, "are all the proof I need that there is a God.”
