Experience
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.
