Well, I don't mind admitting this makes me happy - a blow struck for the field: http://keeperofthesnails.blogspot.com/2010/04/authors-north-spring-meeting-fanta sy.html | ||

Nice one, Ramsey! It's interesting to see how many people who say things like "horror isn't normally the kind of thing I read" actually *have* read and enjoyed horror, though they don't realise it. Keep raising the profile of the genre, Ramsey - that's just what it needs.  | ||

An actual conversion? Fantastic! Have you started your own cult yet, Ramsey?  There's so much horror out there that just doesn't happen to bear that inexplicably (to me anyway) stigmatised label. I always wonder - would authors like Ian McEwan actually lose sales, respect and credibility if their horror books were marketed as such? And I remain baffled that Stephen King became the world's bestselling author in this genre that no one out there seems to read or like. It's a strange world. | ||

"Have you started your own cult yet, Ramsey?" I'm just devising an initiation ceremony...  |
