It's the willful wearing of those blinders that keeps the genre in its place: at the back of the bookstore.<BR/><BR/>It just seems odd to me to see other talk about their desire to scare, when I have no such desire. Perhaps that's why I prefer terms like "strange" or "weird" or "nightmare" rather than "horror" to describe my work. The former terms seem much more applicable.nomishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07283870920567508688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952217099526647451.post-77748254612134091712008-10-27T04:14:13.671-04:002008-10-27T04:14:13.671-04:00To paraphrase Doug Winter, Horror is not a genre; it's an emotion. <BR/><BR/>There are all kinds of horror - often it's stuff people don't even call horror. It doesn't always have to scare. A sense of dread, or of unease. An inkling of the world not being what we were always taught it was.<BR/><BR/>I've also been pondering these thoughts. Is what I write horror, or is it just writing? Does anyone other than the men in suits really care?Gary Mcwww.garymcmahon.comnoreply@blogger.com
