Quote

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 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.

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.

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.

I have no ghost writers. I personally write every message and every piece of published mail.

As a child I loved ghost stories.

I absolutely adore writing books with paranormal elements - and I love creating the often-complex worlds and/or plots that go along with those stories - but at the heart of all of that ,you have the characters, and when you get down to the core of it, it's spending the time with the characters that is what I truly love.

I love stories - devising them, writing them, reading them, watching them, being a part of them.
