Zitat des Tages von Nancy A. Collins:
I've been writing in some way, shape, or form for as long as I can remember.
I cannot sing Vampirella artist Patrick Berkenkotter's praises loudly or often enough.
Personally, I don't trust people who go out of their way to state they never read or watch horror and insist there's something wrong with those of us who do.
I know about various fictional and folkloric vampire mythoses the way other people know about the personal life of celebrities.
One of the things that may appeal to teenagers is that vampires never change - they're frozen in that age.
Back when I was growing up, getting caught with a copy of 'Creepy,' 'Eerie' or 'Vampirella' was almost as bad as your parents finding out you were reading 'Playboy.'
Vampires are handy characters, as they can do double duty as monster/villains and the classic, misunderstood romantic hero.
The best advice I got as a writer was also the first advice, which came from the late fantasy author and editor Karl Edward Wagner: Any agent who charges to look at your work is a crook.
