i let my mom read one chapter of a first draft. she asked me if i was afraid of going to hell for writing it.
i took it as a compliment
Stephen King might go well with fava beans and a nice chianti.
Should we move this to the cooking section?
The truth is that I've never had any negative responses to the fact that I, on occasion, write horror. I've had a fair amount of amazed looks when people find out I write but nothing to do with my choice of genre.
The only real "what are you?" reaction I got was when a friend at work read my first novel. However, that was down to some of the sex scenes (integral to the plot - not at all gratuitous) that were in there.

Well, your mother asked you if you were afraid of going to hell for writing it, right? I didn't see two questions there.
i do see 2 questions, the one in this post and the one in your previous post.
To figure this out easily you just count the ?
my mom also told me to learn something new every day
If it's asked in a way that let's me shrug, say, 'The banality of evil,' and then vanish into a crowd because I look just like everyone else, I call that a good day.
(Never worked when I lived abroad, and so did NOT look like everybody else, and had to pull out my pocket dictionary so I could explain what 'banality' meant).

I don't know, I think the van might've over-tenderized him...Stephen King might go well with fava beans and a nice chianti.

(I seem to be on a kick re-reading threads I've already gone through...
)
I think I've had one or two of those said to me, but the reality is, it's all imagination. My books give me an opportunity to explore these things I would never get/want to see or do which is why I like Horror/Suspense, and writing, so much.
