“Do you remember the kind of fear that you felt as a child, when you had the sense that anything was possible? Ghosts might be lingering in the shadows. A hand could reach out from underneath your bed and drag you down. Perhaps a vampire lurked in your attic, waiting for the moment when you were alone and defenseless to bare his fangs. As a grown woman, I had plenty to fear in the real world-a man walking too close behind me at night, a man yelling hateful things in people’s faces on the subway, a man coming through my window or revealing his true colors or doing any number of things.”
