R. L. Stine

I feel happy to terrify kids.

… a hideous bugbear

Lincoln early in his career had thought that voluntary Negro emigration would be a solution to the race problem in America. However, over time he lost his enthusiasm for this. Conversations with Black leaders had persuaded him that American Negroes had helped build this country and wanted their fair place in it. Hay thought that the idea was not only immoral but impractical and considered the suggestion always to be a proposed solution which would never be practically implemented. There were a few attempts and there was a society set up to encourage emigration. The Nation of Liberia was founded by returning American ex-slaves, but there has been friction between the descendants of the Americans and those of the natives ever since.

My God. What's happened?

Jane Goldman

I loved ghost stories. I love horror stories. I love all of that stuff, but I really yearn for something to actually frighten me. It's more of a yearning for that than something that has to necessarily be cerebral or sophisticated. Good storytelling and something that actually frightens you.

H. P. Lovecraft

Horror and the unknown or the strange are always closely connected so that it is hard to create a convincing picture of shattered natural law or cosmic alienage or 'outsideness' without laying stress on the emotion of fear.
