Quote by Sergei Lukyanenko

“I often use detective elements in my books. I love detective novels. But I also think science fiction and detective stories are very close and friendly genres, which shows in the books by Isaac Asimov, John Brunner, and Glen Cook. However, whilst even a tiny drop of science fiction may harm a detective story, a little detective element benefits science fiction. Such a strange puzzle.”

For real horror you need the spoken word, you need an old grandpa sitting on a bench, scaring the grandkids in the evening.”
