Horror's Greatest Hits
Margo Brooks
Margo Brooks asked M.C. Beaton:

Your characters are so flawed that they are easy to laugh at and could be easy to hate, but they are also so real that you can't help but love them. How do you maintain that line between farce and sympathy, hate and love? I think it is one of the best aspects of your writing.

M.C. Beaton Thank you for the compliments. I suppose it is because I am clumsy and flawed myself!
