Why Horror?

Kendall Reviews invited authors to take part in a series of articles about why they write horror, so I had to bite. I’m intrigued by the topic. It’s a great series, and it’s so interesting to see how different the answer is for each writer.

Here’s mine:

As a little follow up, right after I stated “horror and humor are twins,” I was compelled to start working on deadly serious stories with not one speck of hilarity.

That’s how it goes living in Oppositeland.
