How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Folks called the Killburns witchy people. Some said that the Killburn women could put themselves in trances and cast out the devil. Killburn men and women both could heal a bad wound by touching, although M.C. had never seen them do it. (1.34)
Do the Killburns have supernatural powers? Or is this just prejudice turning the Killburns into more than what they are—a community of people who are just different from other people?
Quote #2
Not only were they massive but they were entwined with vines as thick as a man's arm.
Maybe the vines were poison ivy grown monstrous from Killburn magic. M.C. liked the idea of witchy vines. (1.57-58)
Who doesn't like the idea of "witchy vines"? Or just magic in general? M.C.'s showing his fanciful side here, though he doesn't always view witchiness so favorably.
Quote #3
Eyeing Ben's witchy hands, M.C. assured himself that the sixth fingers weren't wildly waving and making magic. They were the same as the other ten holding onto the vine. Only they were extra. (1.80)
Ben's extra fingers and toes are literally the embodiment of the supernatural. They are super— as in extra, and they are natural—you know, like all toes and fingers.
