““If people feel like you’re trying to educate them on some invaluable life lesson, they’re going to fade. People don’t generally pick up horror novels to get a sermon… but yes, I think there is a definite responsibility on the part of any writer to not only entertain the reader, but also to try to bring him or her a new perspective on something, or a closer look at some dark corner of the heart, the mind, or the world.””
