Bunu kendimize yapan biziz. BUNU KENDİMİZE YAPAN BİZİZ. Diğer bir deyişle (ki bu lafımı sakın unutma!): İNSANOĞLU ASLINDA KORKTUĞU YARATIĞIN TA KENDİSİDİR.

Quote
Truth is, I love all the horror guys and girls: Gord Rollo, Shirley Jackson, Harlan Ellison, Ramsey Campbell, Dan Simmons, Thomas Ligotti. Each one of them brings something wonderfully different and, because I love the genre, I love those who love the genre, too. And I hope the genre ends up loving me back.

After college, I went on a real big classics kick. Read everything by Faulkner, Hemingway, Woolf, Proust, Dostoevsky. And that classics train dropped me off at 'Dracula.' Halfway through it, I understood I'd never be going back, never 'leaving' the genre again. Since then, I've been on a fairly strict horror diet.

I wonder if some artists determine their entire identity through that which they create. How dangerous! Imagine if they were to stop creating!
