badass darkness toasters
Not unlike the toaster, I control darkness.
beautiful dark horror-stories
San Francisco is a breathtakingly beautiful city, with lots of great contrasts between dark and light, often overlapping each other. It's a great setting for a horror story.
lying cat dark
One of them hissed-not the hiss of a cat, a long, steady tone-more like the hiss of air escaping the rubber raft that is all that lies between you and a dark sea full of sharks, the hiss of your life leaking out at the seams.
mother hero dark
For a while he'd tried molding himself into the tragic Romantic hero, brooding and staring clench-jawed off into space as he composed dark verse in his head. But it turned out that trying to appear tragic in Incontinence, Indiana, was redundant, and his mother kept shouting at him and making him forget his rhymes.

horror ray
I thought I was going to be a horror story writer. My influences were horror writers, like Rich Matheson, Ray Bradbury and Bram Stoker.
advance reviews
I don't read reviews if I know in advance they're negative, because I can't have my confidence undermined when I'm writing.
death
I don't give a toss about being remembered after my death.
takes
I can't write a book like 'Lamb' or 'Fool' every year. It just takes too much research and craft.
