I've always been into the horror genre, so I've seen a lot of movies with ghosts and supernatural stuff.

I'm not interested in gothic storytelling or the horrific for its own sake. I'm always interested in it as a way of getting at larger ideas or important meaning. And you don't see that as much as you'd think in the history of horror cinema. A lot of times, it's scariness for scariness' own sake.

As a kid, I was obsessed with myths and legends and the haunting beauty of gothic stories.

Psychological horror I've always appreciated, like 'Rosemary's Baby.' The slasher movies and the grotesque movies are the ones that I've really been off for a while.

My story reflexes come less from fantasy or horror than from the darker sort of psychological thriller - not as plot-driven as most, rather more mood-driven. My interest in the supernatural is a complication - though I am less interested in ghosts than in people who see ghosts.

I've always been intrigued by the supernatural.

I love the paranormal, because there, every genre I write can become one beacon for my imagination.

For me, Gothic is something from my youth, when I had a heavy metal phase.

From a young age I was obsessed with the mysterious, the esoteric, the paranormal.
