    “The screams and the crows stopped. The woods fell silent. No wind, no rustling leaves, nothing. I clapped my hands in front of my face. Nothing. I brought my hand to my ear and snapped. Nothing. It was like the woods were me off one piece at a time--first my bravery, then my sanity, and now my senses.”

    “One of the biggest mistakes writers make in developing their story is neglecting the importance of setting. Character, plot, and dialogue are all essential to story progression; however, so is setting. It serves a purpose far beyond a backdrop for the action. Setting can frame mood, meaning, and thematic connotations.”

    “It's weird, isn't it? The way we have to consider other people's feelings in how we cope with our own. (...) But it's always sort of felt like a paradox to me. Conceal your wounds so no one has to deal with your bleeding.”

    “Fear manifests from individual readers because it comes from within, from our unresolved issues or triggers from past experiences. Horror humbles us in that it asks readers to look at parts of themselves they often veil out of convenience or shame.”

    “[Horror] makes [readers] look their fear in the face, in whatever shape it has adopted, and say 'This is how i beat you.' It's about debunking what scares us and why.
    That's what I love about horror.
    It's so revealing.”
