I write horror and some very dark thrillers. So I invariably wake up in the middle of the night, because I've figured out yet another twisted way to mess with my already screwed up characters. I'm interested in some weird stuff. That's probably also one of the reasons I write horror. I'm deep, dark and seriously twisted.
