“As a genre, the best horror poses central human questions - Who can you trust? What is the cost of our secrets? What is our relationship to history? What are we blind to? What evils are lurking under the smooth surface of the self? - through radical dislocations.”

“On my first trip to Havana, I was stopped by a woman who turned out to be a Canadian tour guide and who had mistaken me for a woman who had been part of one of her tour groups.”

“As a reader, I appreciate a world that feels unsettled and also visceral, inhabitable, so that's a quality I try and bring to my own work. In this way, dislocation and precision make total sense to me as a unit.”

“Heaving up a blind pass to maybe pick up 10 yards, rather than throwing the ball away - I can't do that.”

“If thou art a master, be sometimes blind; if a servant, sometimes deaf.”

“I sort of have blind faith that my life resembles other people's.”
