“Sometimes the biggest disasters aren't noticed at all - no one's around to write horror stories.”

“Physical reality is one of the biggest horror movies of all, and you know how we love horror movies.”

“Horror fiction seems to spawn more dumbass 'rules' than any other kind of writing, and one of the dumbest is the assumed 'requirement' of a twist ending, going all the way back to H.H. Munro. This story is also the result of a long rumination on how stories are sometimes scuttled or diminished by succumbing to such 'rules'.”

“…my life has been a remarkable one. Maybe one day someone will write a book about me . . .” "I’ve never much cared for horror stories.”

“Stories wander around, go from one land to another, sometimes parts change.”

“The hardest part of writing a story is making bad things happen to good people. The hardest part of writing horror is knowing that it won't really get better for them.”
