Lines from Shadow Country

"Your Father frightens them not because he is a monster but because he is a man." - Lucius' mother, p283

On a pine ridge along this road was Gator Hook, a shack community where the vacated sheds and decrepit dwellings of the road construction crews had been usurped by fugitives and drifters, also gator poachers, moonshiners and retired whores, in a raffish society often drunk on its own moonshine before noon. p288

In the rank growth alongside was a rust spotted white refrigerator, some rust-rotted oil drums, a charred stove of that marbled blue so ubiquitous in rubbish heaps throughout backcountry america. p289
