When did you first become interested in horror? I’m a total bookworm and have enjoyed reading pretty much everything since I was a kid, be it non-fiction, westerns, sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries, thrillers, whatever. Still, horror seems to hold a special place in my black and shriveled heart.

He’s been a friend, mentor, and fountain of creative ideas ever since. When I was clue...
