3 of my favorite quotes from A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson 🥀🩸✨ It was my favorite read from last year!!
#booksky #queerbooksky
A slightly transparent picture of the book in a candle-lit photo-op with gothic vibes and three quotes from A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson. Quote 1: “The force of your love nearly drove me to my knees. I was no woman; I was merely a supplicant, a pilgrim who had stumbled across your dark altar and was doomed to worship at it forever.” Quote 2: “You did not let me keep my name, so I will strip you of yours. In this world, you are what I say you are, and I say you are a ghost, a long night’s fever dream that I have finally awaken from. I say you are the smoke-wisp memory of a flame, thawing ice suffering under an early spring sun, a chalk ledger of debts wiped clean. I say you do not have a name.” Quote 3: “Nothing existed beyond the range of your exacting gaze, not even me. I was simply a non-entity when you weren’t looking at me, an empty vessel waiting to be filled by the sweet water of your attention.”
