Fall Writing Frenzy Entry

So with that, here is my entry into the Fall Writing Frenzy. To find out more about the contest, please visit Lydia Lukidis's blog.

Now, onto my entry:

Lisa’s Quotes

“There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.”

“Horror itself is a bit of a bullied genre, the antagonist being literary snobbery and public misconception. And I think good horror tackles our darkest fears, whatever they may be. It takes us into the minds of the victims, explores the threats, disseminates fear, studies how it changes us. It pulls back the curtain on the ugly underbelly of society, tears away the masks the monsters wear out in the world, shows us the potential truth of the human condition. Horror is truth, unflinching and honest. Not everybody wants to see that, but good horror ensures that it's there to be seen.”
― Kealan Patrick Burke
