Dark Quote by Dan Chaon

“I've always been a horror movie fan, since I was a kid. And I was also a really scared kid. I was easily scared of the dark. One of the ways I would try and get away from my fear of the dark was to pretend like the monsters were my friends.” quote by Dan Chaon — Download Open image
