First things First

This isn't a blog about my book, it's just a blog. My subject is going to be Psychological Thrillers/Horrors. The point of this is-Why?

Why do we get scared, why do allow words to infiltrate our minds and warp our everyday surroundings into the unknown, into what we can't comprehend. At night, after a scary movie, you sleep with the lights on, and the door cracked open. After watching "Signs" i had to keep a glass of water next to my bed every night. The big question is, what do these author's do that keeps us to scared. What part of our brain, culture, beings, do they register in order to capture that creep effect.

All Horror stories leave their mark on the reader, wheter its by keeping us up all night, or haunting us in our dreams. How do these writers know what it takes to open up that level of fear in every reader. What is that makes us so scared-and even better, why do we love the feeling so very very much.
