"Read it! I've had every page, paragraph, and word read at me, sir!"

Mr. Dark took time to light a cigarette and blow smoke toward the NO SMOKING sign, then at Will's father

"Do you really imagine that books can harm me? Is naiveté really your armor? *Here!*"

And before Charles Holloway could move, Mr. Dark ran lightly forward and took the Bible. He held it in his hands.

"Aren't you surprised? See, I touch, hold, even read from it."

Something Wicked This Way Comes
Ray Bradbury, 1962
