Choosing one's path

The Artdog Quote of the Week 


A note to the wise: to all of us, beware what path we choose. For writers: this the ultimate key to a good antagonist. Thanks, Mary!

Coping mechanism

The Artdog Quote of the Week 


What is the fascination of horror fiction? As we move toward Halloween I thought it might be fun to explore thoughts on why so many of us love to be scared by fictional horrors.

And where better to start than with a quote from the King of Horror himself?

IMAGE: Many thanks to all the many, many, many (many, many, MANY) Pinterest boards that feature this quote image--so many, I found 22,300,000 matches, and ran out of time to track down the original source. I found this particular file on Stephanie Girolami-James's board, via Chelsie Bowen's HORROR Pinboard.
