I have always loved reading a little creep-factor and a lot of suspense.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a bit more of a suspense reader on the adult side, but my favorites were the ones I grew up reading.
I always loved horror, but I read all sorts of books. My favourite as a child was 'The Secret Garden' which has a big influence on Lord Loss, believe it or not!
I read what I like to write: romantic suspense. I also love thrillers and novels of suspense, but I can't handle extreme violence and torture.
As for suspense, I like to write books that draw you into the hero's plight from the opening pages, where people put their lives on the line for something - a belief, a family member, the truth.
I've been reading horror since I was five years old.
I have always loved reading books for children and young adults, particularly when those books are mysteries.
The horror genre is my personal favorite. But then again, I was the kid who read coroner books for fun.
I really like suspenseful movies and movies that make you think.
Horror and supernatural novels give you a lot of what you look for in a crime novel, just with a twist that was very fresh for me as a reader.
I do try not to spend much time reading in the suspense genre.
