I and everyone else in this world live in what is probably the most difficult times that have ever been. We are facing total thermonuclear destruction; and, if you can make someone believe in a ghost or a demon or a vampire in the face of that, you are doing well.

Maybe it will turn someone's stomach; but, I'm not sure that is literature or even entertainment.
