| Most people try hard to push away their darkness, to ignore it, to deny it. Every single one of us has something bright and something obscure inside of us and it is not a matter of choosing, because both of them are us; this is what makes us human. I write about characters dealing with their complicated nature, constantly sinking in the darkest places of the human soul and coming to terms with that darkness. |
| Novelist |
| Creative writing. Narrative writing. |
| I am drawn to opposites. In fact, I might be obsessed. Light and dark, life and death, female and male, love and hatred, kindness and cruelty. In my writing there will always be opposite concepts daring each other to battle or coexisting in peace. |
| Fantasy. Psychological thriller. Romance. Terror. Crime. |
| Wuthering Heights: I like a story about characters who acknowledge and embrace their iniquity and violent passion. The Butterfly Garden: I enjoy the horror of love and beauty. Both carry something inherently lugubrious that most people try to ignore. |
| Rosario Castellanos: she writes about the violent passions a woman experiences and about how brutal and merciless our existence can be—and how there is beauty somewhere in there too. Edgar Allan Poe: he depicts beauty and love in all their horror. |
| It may not be my chest the tomb that guards you, but I wouldn't be if I wasn't this castle in ruins your phantom haunts. By Rosario Castellanos |
| Black Veil Brides: they constantly critique religion and systemic forms of belief. My Chemical Romance: they beautifully express the poetic disenchantment of growing up. |
| La Mécanique Du Coeur: the disenchantment of growing up and the ability to keep dreaming once the real world has beaten you up is sublime to me. Poison for the fairies and Coraline: they lead you through a dream, only to leave you in a nightmare. |
