1 " [Horror] makes [readers] look their fear in the face, in whatever shape it has adopted, and say 'This is how i beat you.' It's about debunking what scares us and why. That's what I love about horror. It's so revealing. "
― Haley Newlin , Not Another Sarah Halls
2 " Fear manifests from individual readers because it comes from within, from our unresolved issues or triggers from past experiences. Horror humbles us in that it asks readers to look at parts of themselves they often veil out of convenience or shame. "
3 " I urge readers to step out of their comfort zones and delve into the winding and fierce journey of self-realization that horror imprints on those brave enough to crack the book's spine. "
4 " The wicked have no empathy for the pure. "
5 " How do the pathetic outlive the noble? "
6 " It's weird, isn't it? The way we have to consider other people's feelings in how we cope with our own. (...) But it's always sort of felt like a paradox to me. Conceal your wounds so no one has to deal with your bleeding. "
7 " The screams and the crows stopped. The woods fell silent. No wind, no rustling leaves, nothing. I clapped my hands in front of my face. Nothing. I brought my hand to my ear and snapped. Nothing. It was like the woods were me off one piece at a time--first my bravery, then my sanity, and now my senses. "
8 " It wouldn't be the worst thing, would it? To die young, I mean. "
9 " It was like I let them consume my life with physical consent, while my soul screamed for freedom. "
