Experience in the area

DUE TO LENGTHY ILLNESS, I AM NOT ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. I APOLOGIZE. Far too many years reading and writing scary stuff. I tend to the mainstream, but do enjoy the quirky cult type as well, especially cheap paperback kinds. There si some stuff that I won't touch with a 50 foot pole, but what I don't know I will go to efforts to find it out or at the very least, direct you in the right direction. I am very cynical, so if you want me to review stuff or give my opinion, then don't expect it to be an optimistic one.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

The boundaries of possibility are not as restrictive as some think. But how far into the pits of depravity and despair will I need to sink to get my answers?

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Some of the finest horror tales were written by the ancient Greeks- only they called them tragedies.
