Fear

I have a love/hate relationship with horror. I'm totally phobic about zombies, something that my sister says is good, since it's best to be phobic about something you'll never encounter. If I was sure I'd never encounter them, I wouldn't be phobic about them, now would I?

My imagination is chronically over-active, so any horror is multiplied and made worse in my imagination after the fact. Despite that, I still love well-done horror. Right now I'm devouring books by Jonathan Maberry. The man is -good-. He doesn't waste words, and can scare you and fascinate you at the same time. So far I only own two of his books, and a couple of short stories, but they're good enough for me to get past how badly they frighten me. Find him. Read him. Give yourself a Halloween treat.
