“Starting a new book is like starting a new adventure, and when starting a new adventure, it would be unwise to think there will not be dragons. We will never know what will be encountered when we set out, but to be brave, we must set out anyway. There will always be dragons, and I wish you luck should they cross your path.”

“Books are portals. Even if the people and events inside are all fictitious, the magic of it all is real.”

“The places in this book are real places as a reminder that magic can still happen in our world. This is the importance of the contemporary fantasy genre. Mythic tales have always served as the door through which humans and gods interact - safely within a dreamscape.”

“Scary stories protect us.
They have since the beginning of story itself. That's what they were made for.
And children, especially, need scary stories. They keep children away dangerous places and dubious people. The old folk stories of nixies kept children away from the edges of dangerous waters. Tales of ghosts to this day keep children away from abandoned, tetanus-filled houses. Stories of the Candy Man keep them from talking to strangers.
If we keep children away from scary stories, we are doing them a disservice. These books warn them against things that busy adults might have failed to mention. Moms and Dads and Schools are often afraid to talk about monsters and boogeymen, because they are afraid of scaring the children. But scary books for don't mind doling out a good scare- that's their job, after all, and they do it better than anyone else.”
