“‘Drink this,’ he said, and handed it to her. He was a little surprised when she took it, put it to her lips, and did as he commanded without a question, without spilling a drop, without grimacing at the bitter taste. What he’d given her was a tea made from the witch-hazel blossom, toadleaf, and ghost sedge. She drank till her mouth filled and overflowed and dribbled down her bloody dress. He let her finish the entire bottle.”
— Jeffrey Ford, “Witch Hazel,” Haunted Nights (Eds. Ellen Datlow & Lisa Morton)
