In a world of chaos and uncertainty should a writer reflect that reality, or give readers a place that they can hide in? I know which would sell better.

I was once asked 'How do you become a writer? Move to Paris? Drink too much alcohol? Have lots of unwise love affairs?" I said no. Just apply your glutes to a chair and draw out of the dark well of the imagination thousands of words every day for the rest of your life. Simple

Wanna hear a scary story?
The first American vampire was Black.
Seriously.
78 years before Dracula appeared in American literature, there was "The Black Vampyre" by Uriah D'Arcy.
It was written in 1819 as an antislavery critique and the effect the Haitian Revolution had on the States
