“For the dead are always close by in a life like Mahony's. The dead are drawn to the confused and the unwritten, the damaged and the fractured, to those with big cracks and gaps in their tales, which the dead just yearn to fill. For the dead have secondhand stories to share with you, if you'd only let them get a foot in the door.” StoriesDeathTalesConfusedUnwrittenDamagedThe DeadFrancis SweeneyMahonySecondhand Stories Book:Himself Source: Himself
