― Josh Malerman, Ghastle and Yule

“You don’t love horror because you think it represents the fears of the society you live in. You don’t love horror because it excites the imagination. You love horror because you believe it’s possible.”
― Josh Malerman, Ghastle and Yule

“The horror story can be the best one there is. Sometimes you want to defend it. Other times you don’t care what other people think because you’ll always have horror for yourself. And yet, it bothers you when people laugh in scary movies. It makes you want to scream in their comedies. It bothers you when people say they’re more scared by something “real.” As if a man with a knife is more frightening to them than a breathing mass of tanned flesh crouched in the corner of their kitchen.”
