I love horror. I have ever since I was kid, getting up early on Saturday mornings to watch old monster movies with horrible special effects on TV. I don't much care for fantasies set in contemporary times, but horror - dark fantasy - is great. Perhaps because the fantasy elements are only on-screen for a short time in a horror story, I find it easier to suspend disbelief.

I don't much care for Dean Koontz and other writers where you are guaranteed a happy ending. Neither do I like the authors where you know everything will always end badly. I like the authors who keep you guessing. Sometimes the good guys win, sometimes they lose, sometimes it's a draw. And if they win, it might be at great personal cost.
