There are those who write stories that’ll make your blood
run cold.
Who, in a few words, can establish atmosphere so oppressive
and claustrophobic that even before the action begins you can feel the walls
around you closing in.
The sorts of authors you’d never read before bedtime, lest
in the night you lay awake, staring at the ceiling, paralyzed with fear.
But no matter how much their books might frighten you, you
have to wake up the next morning. You must go about your business as though
nothing was wrong.
Because if you can’t do that, the horrorists win.
Thank god we have Jack Bauer and the Counter Horrorism Unit... wait, that's not right....
