Fear cannot touch me, it can only taunt me
It cannot take me, just tell me where to go
I can either follow or stay in my bed
I can hold on to the things I know
The dead stay dead, they cannot walk.
The shadows are darkness. And darkness can't talk.
~ from Christopher Rice - A Density of Souls

I love this poem. I quite like the book, apart from the slight 'O_o'-ness I get in places. Amd the final scene with Stephen and Jordan is just... perfect and heartbreaking.
