“I think readers appreciate those of us who stay in the trenches and fight the good fight even when times get tough. I know that I, personally, lost respect for writers who, when there was a downturn in the market, started shouting from the rooftops that they wrote thrillers and suspense novels rather than horror. As far as I'm concerned, those wussboys should sever all ties with the horror community if that's the way they feel and get out of the way so real horror writers can do their work.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayFeelsShouldRealFightingLostCan DoCommunityNovelReaderHorrorToughConcernedAppreciateSuspenseTiesShoutingThrillersTrenchesGood FightRooftopsDownturnSuspense NovelsFight The Good FightLost Respect Author:Bentley Little
“Most people are middle class. Most people do wish their lives were better than they are. And I think by making my main characters ordinary, average guys, it helps readers identify with their problems. It also helps ground the supernatural events that follow in a recognizable reality and perhaps gives some of my wilder scenarios a little verisimilitude.” PeopleThinkingGivingLittlesCharacterHelpingProblemRealityGuyWishClassMiddleEventsReaderOrdinaryAverageMiddle ClassScenariosMain CharactersWilder Author:Bentley Little
