Secret Basement Lab Alphabet: Q is for QUOTES OF DARKNESS




Q is for QUOTES OF DARKNESS

“I don’t see the big deal,” Howard spat. “Just a book. What’s he gonna do, lob it at someone and bonk their noggin?”
The wrinkled old man shook his head. “Knowledge can be dangerous. This wasn’t an encyclopedia or a collection of poetry, you dimwit.”
The cop’s eyes narrowed at the insult.
“It was a book of arcane rituals and summoning spells. Words in their purest root form, combined with deadly recipes for building host vessels for possession, the conjuration of spirits and demons…”
“Aww, it’s all Halloween bunkum. Lot o’ hoopla for guys who wear mascara and listen to music that sounds like someone tryin’ to extract a running chainsaw from a sheet of stainless steel.”

The old man sighed. “Despite the more comical pop-cultural permutations of the dark arts, the fact is that they are very real and very deadly. This Sumerian tome that was taken, was taken for a reason. No other book in the shop was touched, I tell you! Someone who knows what it is and plans to use it now has it! And we’ll all be damned if we don’t stop them before they have a chance!”
