— Clive BarkerIf these entities were charged to keep witnesses from the glacier, they would not simply drive the wakeful off but the sleeping too; and those who came as he came, in reverence, would earn their special ire. He studied the spattered air, looking for some sign of them, and once thought he glimpsed a form overhead that would have been invisible but that it displaced the snow: an eel’s body with a tiny ball of a head. But it was come and gone too quickly for him to be certain he’d even seen it.
