Personally, I don't trust people who go out of their way to state they never read or watch horror and insist there's something wrong with those of us who do.

Horror serves a cathartic role in human society, all throughout the world. It is a way of confronting the darkness, both within and without.

I became a horror fan during the early 1960s, back when Hammer was putting out their groundbreaking 'Dracula' series with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, and grew up watching 'Dark Shadows.'

I know about various fictional and folkloric vampire mythoses the way other people know about the personal life of celebrities.

One of the things that may appeal to teenagers is that vampires never change - they're frozen in that age.

I've been writing in some way, shape, or form for as long as I can remember.
