But they can't. The characters, that is. *quiet* I mean ... even when they try, they can't leave the story behind them. There's always a heart thumping under the floorboards, or a woman lying alive in the tomb ... and maybe I read too much Poe, but horror's not horrible because things are dead. It's horrible because things go on living even if you want them to be dead.
