Reply to comment by ponyothefrog in We’re the authors of TOIL AND TROUBLE and MONSTER, SHE WROTE, and we love writing about horror history and the occult, especially through a feminist lens. AMA! by Toil_AndTrouble

I've always enjoyed horror and the occult, even as a child. As I've read/watched more horror, I realize how much it relies on empathy. We, as readers and viewers, feel the character's fear. It's a powerful thing! I think this is just one reason why it is important. That also was evident in our study of occult history. -LK
