Melissa, known as Mouse, heads off to the wilds of North Carolina after a bad breakup, with only her dog Bongo for company. Mouse's grandmother, who nobody liked, has died, and Mouse's dad isn't up to clearing out the house. ( no spoilers )
I tried to make a face like the one on the nearest carving. Its lower jaw was distended like a snake about to swallow and its eyes bulged. “See, ’ook…” I opened my eyes and mouth as wide as I could and wider, wider, wide enough to eat the sun this is the one that puts the stars out when the shadows go over them this one’s eyes can see in the gray that’s left behind after even the darkness is eaten. Oh shit. I tried to close my mouth and it didn’t want to close. [loc. 1210]
