"I don't read much horror, though I like the idea of horror, the idea of a nasty, subversive genre, the purpose of which is to upend conventional ideas of good taste, and to speak truths otherwise ignored or suppressed. I think that's really worthy."
- Peter Straub quoted in Ian Jackman's The Writer's Mentor: Secrets of success from the world's greatest writers. I totally agree with him. It's like the idea of a dirty thought hanging out in a clean mind - deliciously recalcitrant.
