Ghoulies and ghosties, etc.

I've been asked many times, over the years, how I can read & watch "that horror stuff." Vampires and monsters and ghosts and clowns in the sewers and . . . Doesn't it scare me? Doesn't it give me nightmares?

Nope. Not really.

Consider, if you will:
Hurricane Katrina was an excellent dress rehearsal for Homeland Security; a dress rehearsal for their response to the next terrorist attack on the U. S.

Go ahead. Take a moment. Let that really sink in.

Gives you a nice warm fuzzy, doesn't it?


Nope. Horror fiction and horror movies don't bother me a bit. Bring on the monsters, bring on the vampires, bring on the things that go bump in the night.

Not nearly as scary as real life.
