Animals Quote by Jonathan Blum
““The creatures came up the stairs a few at a time, pausing to sit up and sniff the air. Their eyes glinted in the darkness.They were a foot long. They were covered in moth-eaten grey fur and they had enormous fangs and big bushy tails, and there were maybe twenty of them, chittering from all around. Vampire crack squirrels, thought James, and wished he hadn't.””
