If you visited the library over the past few months, it’s likely you saw our bulletin board display featuring frightening quotes, dripping blood, and flying bats. You might have recognized (if you were brave enough to take a closer look) many or all of the quotes from some of your favorite books, like
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer,
Graceling by Kristin Cashore, and
Rot and Ruin by Jonathan Maberry.
Our bulletin board has transformed for winter, but if you were intrigued by our spooky quotes and wanted to look them over to find a new read then browse the quotes we featured below with their respective answers.
“I’d never given much thought to how I would die -though I’d had reason enough in the last few months- but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this.”
Twilight, Stephanie Meyer
“For an instant, I felt a thrill of genuine fear, raising the hair on my arms. The look only lasted a second, but it chilled me more than the freezing wind.”
Twilight, Stephanie Meyer
“Black eyes, wild with their fierce craving for my death, watched for the moment when my protector’s attention would be diverted. The moment when I would surely die.”
Eclipse, Stephanie Meyer
“She carried a knife inside of herself now, one that was always cutting her. She could feel it every time she swallowed, every time her thoughts strayed from the splendor of the wild.”
Specials (Uglies series), Scott Westerfeld
“So pretty I had to eat him”
Peeps, Scott Westerfeld
"She could almost hold the blood back now, not a good thing, no, because it meant he was almost finished, his brave heart almost done beating. Michael Grant, Hunger (Gone series). She knew her nature. She would recognize it if she came face-to-face with it. It would be a blue-eyed green-eyed monster, wolf like and snarling. A vicious beast that struck out at friends in uncontrollable anger, a killer that offered itself as a vessel of the king's fury."
Graceling,
Kristin Cashore
“Let me see the colors of your eyes boy. I’ll cut them out. Don’t think I won’t.”
Graceling, Kristin Cashore
Eventually I realize that I am holding on to him just as tightly as he holds on to me. And here we are: two small dying things, as the world ends around us like falling autumn leaves.”
Wither (Chemical Garden Trilogy),
Lauren DeStefano
“As I go, I hear her screaming my name, in a brutal, bloody way, like she's being murdered, which maybe she is. But slowly.”
Wither (Chemical Garden Trilogy), Lauren DeStefano,
“Flickering lights, anonymous doors, my heart escaping in drips, I'm still waking up,
but she's still sleeping, this ICU is a hotel for the dead.”
Linger, Maggie Stiefvater
“Maybe the Devil I knew was better than the devil that I didn’t know.
Spellbound, Laura Schultz
“There was no mistaking what he was and even if I hadn’t felt the power and darkness that radiated from him, there was no way I could miss his Mark, the sapphire blue crescent moon on his forehead.”
Marked (House of Night series), P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
“He was a vampire, and worse. He was a Tracker.”
Marked, P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast.
“It was the scent of something strange, something otherworldly, that led her to the first splashes of crimson.”
Tempted (House of Night Series), P.C Cast and Kristin Cast,
“After four nights on the run, I was finally safe, tucked into bed, and enjoying the deep, dreamless sleep of the dead...until the dead decided that they’d rather have me awake.”
The Reckoning, Kelley Armstrong
“I startle when I catch someone staring at me from only a few inches away and then realize it's my own face reflecting back in the glass. Wild eyes, hollow cheeks, my hair in a tangled mat. Rabid. Feral. Mad. No wonder everyone is keeping a safe distance from me.”
The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins
“There was a sliver of moon and a splash of stars, and the light outlined her face and glistened on the tears that ran like mercury down her cheeks."
Rot and Ruin,
Jonathan Maberry
“The closest zom grabbed his arm and before Benny could pull away it bit down with savage force on his wrist.”
Dust and Decay, Jonathan Maberry
“Teeth closed around his forearm. The pain was instant and terrible.”
Dust and Decay, Jonathan Maberry
