"My nightmare. It stooped there, hairless and naked, mottled gray-black skin hanging off its frame in loose folds, its eyes collared in dripping putrefaction, legs bowed and feet clubbed and hands gnarled into useless claws every part looking withered and wasted like a body of an impossibly old man". (Riggs 294).

I choose this quote because it has lots of detail and is very eerie. Ransom Riggs the author of the book chooses unique wording in this quote like you could picture the creature right there. The quote is important to the plot because the plot is based around the peculiar children and this shows why they live where they are to hide from creatures like this and is a very important part in the book. Also this creature could be the creature that killed Jacob the protaganist in the book's grandfather. Because when they talked about the antagonist they never really described them. The author used imagery to show the antagonist of the story I think this is one of the best ways to show the antagonist. What drew me to this quote was how descriptive and original and how you can picture it in your head so clearly.
