Claire Kohda Quote: “I’ve often thought that people get quiet after sharing personal things with me; maybe it’s because I don’t react in the way they want a person to react, or give them enough sympathy or advice.”

Claire Kohda Quote: “You know, lobsters just get bigger and bigger without aging and, if there were no other threats to them, they’d live forever. Sea sponges too, Mama.” I call her what I used to when I was a child. “They stay beautiful and bright and they live for thousands of years. That’s us.”

Claire Kohda Quote: “We only ever got pig blood. This wasn’t because it was the only type of animal blood the butcher had. “Pigs are dirty,” my mum said once. “It’s what your body deserves.” But it turns out that pigs aren’t naturally dirty. Rather, humans keep pigs in dirty conditions, feeding them rotten vegetables, letting the mud in their too-small pens mix with their feces; the filth of the pig is just symptomatic of the sins of the human.”

Claire Kohda Quote: “I think I realized quite a long time ago that the demon isn’t necessarily linked to God; it’s not the antithesis of human, or of the soul. It is just a different animal, which has a different diet from humans.”

Claire Kohda Quote: “There’s no more space in my brain for my mum at the moment. I feel as though if I let too much of her in, I might have to push something fundamental – like my capacity for emotion, or for making memories, or understanding language – out.”

Claire Kohda Quote: “The beginning of love, maybe, but not quite that either. The feeling that comes from being brought to almost-life by a person, of having tasted their blood, of feeling the rhythm of contractions, the feeling of being forced to breathe air for the first time...”

Claire Kohda Quote: “Sometimes, I’ve wondered if a simple life like this one might be the life I’d choose to live if I were human.”

Claire Kohda Quote: “Whenever there is something planned in my life – either meeting a friend, going on a school or uni trip, going for a walk, or, like today, starting an internship – when it actually comes to the day I have to go through with the plan, it goes from being something I’m excited about to something I dread. If I arrange to go to the cinema in a week’s time, for instance, when the time to go comes around, it becomes the last thing I want to do. My instinct, always, is to stay in.”

Claire Kohda Quote: “In most Asian cultures, I learned, there is no reverence for the vampiric monster as there is in the West; most bloodsucking things are women, and their actions – be it sin in a past life, a pact with a demon, a jealous or unstable personality – are all blamed for their monstrous states. Maybe my mum hated herself for not being able to hold on to her humanity; maybe she hated me for being the cause of her losing it.”

Claire Kohda Quote: “I think about this now, looking around at all the things that I suppose are designed to help residents retain a feeling of identity and belonging, and wonder if my mum denied herself more than just blood from anything “higher” than a pig while I was growing up. There’d been nothing in our house that we’d had just because my mum liked it; nothing that stood as a memento of her human life, her life in Malaysia. Everything was about convenience, not her taste or personality.”
