Letter from the editor

When we write horror stories, we often use monsters to create a sense of fear in our readers. Countless types of monsters have growled, hissed and spat across the pages of classic horror novels.

I prefer my monsters home-grown. I am thinking about stories such as Cujoor Pet Semataryboth by Stephen King. Both books highlight common household pets turned into gruesome monsters.

What type of pet makes for a great horror monster? Our cute little kitties and doggies; our pet rats (Willard), our adorable baby bunnies! (Night of the Lepus). What is more horrible than our cherished pets making a beeline for our throats with their teeth? Or crawling into our beds at night to chomp on our legs?

We trust our pets not to make us their next meal, or to have designs on our lives. As a horror writer, you can observe your pet’s behavior and magnify it; exaggerate it; twist it a bit, and turn a gentle meow into a menacing roar.

Now about that nice Turkey you are eating….*Shock*
