“First I wish to be a millionaire.” The gin laughed; the kind of laugh she’d only ever seen in movies. He threw back his head and shrieked glee into the smoky air. “You’re confusing me with my brethren again, who take the fanciful whims mortals think to be wishes and twist them to their advantage. I can’t feed off a whim, young lady. I need a proper wish – one with a sticky piece of soul still attached.”

“The rooms were doors set into the twinkling snow sculptures of handsome men and women. Giants caught in the ice by their endless waves of beard and silken tresses, desperation in their frozen eyes. Maatje shivered. No, she didn’t like this floor at all. A scratching and a thud came from inside one of the snow statues: a woman shaped with cruelty so dazzling it looked like loveliness. Maatje jumped back. “I-I’m looking for the Manager.” A tap tap tap was her only reply. A finger on the door in the snow woman’s ravenous, gaping mouth.”

“You had a bad dream." Jack tenderly tucks a strand of bloodred hair behind my ear. "I've got you now, Sally. Through sweet dreams or nightmares, I've always got you." "Oh, Jack." I bury my face against his rib cage. "It didn't feel like a dream." As I sink into his hold, letting my twisted-up stuffing of cotton and crisp autumn leaves unravel back into place, I try to tell myself that he's right: It was only a dream. I may now be the queen of a land of nightmares-- but I come from a place of sweet dreams. And even though my life is happier now than I ever imagined, it seems that, even in slumber, I still can't find my place between those worlds.”
