Ian Noakes asked Stuart Keane:

Hey, Stuart. Tell me what it is about the horror genre that has grabbed your imagination and inspired you to write? What sets it apart from other genres?

Stuart Keane To put it simply, I think that horror genre elicits a response from someone that no other genre does. Sure, you can cry and laugh, but these are enjoyable in some context. Being scared shouldn't be enjoyable, but it is. When I discovered this, it stayed with me. I think this started my inspiration, which now comes from great authors, amazing films and people who respect the genre.

When I read/see good horror now, it always reminds me of how I fell in love with it in the first place. I think it's the rawness of the emotion, and the weird looks you get for loving the genre. There's nothing like it.
