I've wanted to write a ghost story for years, and my main aim was to write the most frightening ghost story that I could think of.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I loved all ghost stories. So I guess it was only a matter of time before I wrote one.
I have always been a pretty big fan of ghost stories.
Ghost stories really scare me. I have such a big imagination that after I watch a horror movie like 'The Grudge', I look in the corners of my room for the next two days.
Why a ghost story? Well, I love them. They're fun to read - and, yes, fun to write.
I loved ghost stories. I love horror stories. I love all of that stuff, but I really yearn for something to actually frighten me. It's more of a yearning for that than something that has to necessarily be cerebral or sophisticated. Good storytelling and something that actually frightens you.
As a child I loved ghost stories.
Many of my short stories (all unpublished) were horror, and the novel I'd just finished was horror, too.
I wrote ghost stories because I'd always enjoyed reading them, and they seemed to be fizzling out... I don't take them terribly seriously. It's like a cake, with ingredients.
I was haunted by a bear attack that happened in Algonquin Park in 1991. The problem was that I don't believe in ghosts, so that ruled out an exorcism. My other choice was to start writing.
Everyone has a ghost story, or at least that's how it has always seemed to me.
