Peter Straub

“The world is full of ghosts, and some of them are still alive.”

“Any story that is written is a story that is in part about the writing of the story.”

“The most important things, the things that really matter, are the things you can't buy.”

“Fear is a place where you just tell the truth.”

“I think all of us have a dark side. Some of us are better at hiding it than others.”

“What you don't know can kill you.”

“Writing is a way of processing the world.”

“What's the point of a great memory if you can't change it?”

“In the end, we all become stories.”

“Real-life horror is a baby crying in the night, and you can't find it.”

“Sometimes the things that you are most afraid of are the things that you most need to do.”

“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”

“Stories are the most important thing in the world. Without stories, we wouldn't be human beings at all.”

“The best horror is rooted in the characters.”
