The dark and the light of "horror"

Recently someone asked me why I write about such dark things, and I was confused for a moment. I didn't see myself as dark.  I may write about death, ghosts, demons, and hauntings, but I don't actually write horror.

No matter how seemingly dark my storylines might sound, I always write about the light. I believe there is light and love at the core of the universe and inside every human being. So there should be light at the center of every story I write, because that's why we're here on this...
