That's why the books/movies about them are so popular I guess.Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-81487664497208473502010-02-23T16:59:53.582-07:002010-02-23T16:59:53.582-07:00Mary, Whoa, 50?

I wonder how those authors such as Stephen King, who create such truly dark, evil characters rest confortably at night. <br /><br />MaryMary Easonhttp://www.maryeason.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-56435742200245491022010-02-23T08:30:58.622-07:002010-02-23T08:30:58.622-07:00I've written on the dark side in short stories...I've written on the dark side in short stories, but never for novel length.

I think looking into our dark half at times helps us realize evil exists in human form and we need to strive to do better. <br /><br />Hope everyone has a great day.
