 The Horror Show, Summer 1985
I think horror literature is the most elemental, most truthful type of fiction because horror writers are by-and-large unflinching observers of society and are unafraid to rip the lid off the old crate that everybody keeps down in their dark, private dungeon.
Also, the quality of the writing and the characterization in today's horror fiction is excellent---even though life may still be echoing the basic themes the old masters set forth.
Though---just a side thought---I've found horror authors to be among the nicest folks you could meet anywhere, because horror writers get to purge a lot of the things that make other people nasty.
