I am a fan of magic and fantasy, particularly when it's grounded in reality.

One of my favorite things about supernatural fiction is its vast array of creatures.

I've always been intrigued by the supernatural.

For me, a great fantasy is real people, a world I recognise, human struggle and magic. You've got to have magic to make a fantasy work. But I like my magic to be subtle. I don't want magic coming out of the hands of wizards. I want it to be pervading, sinister somehow.

The greatest question of all is whether our experience on this planet is 'it' or whether there is something else. Things in the supernatural realm give support, strangely perhaps, to the things we take on faith.

I think the supernatural is a catch-all for everything we don't understand about the vast other parts of life that we cannot perceive.

Even though I don't necessarily believe in everything that's supernatural, I like being scared and I like things that are suspenseful.

I love witches and magic and dress-up and make-believe.

I try to stay far away from anything creepy and supernatural. I'd rather not think about it.
