I was a weird little kid. I was very irritable, bored, frustrated. I felt my imagination bubbling inside my head without having any way to express itself. Given a crayon and paper, I would not draw a train or a house. I would draw these monsters, beasts and demons.

I know that I want to bring sex and horror together as I have been able to in my books.

I'm a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die-it's a major offence.

What worth was a man who could not be haunted?

Let the mad find wisdom in their madness for the sane, and let the sane be grateful.

Believe me, when I say; There are no two powers That command the soul. One is God The other is the tide. -Anon From the novel Abarat

Wherever I go, I will speak of you with love.
