"Where
do you get your ideas?" and "Why do you write horror?" These are the

with trepidation and a hint of revulsion. In Primeval Fear horror novelist Christopher Treagus answers both these enduring questions and explores the roots behind the classic elements and archetypes of horror literature. Discover why the Vampire yet plagues us after all these years. Why the Monster is such a potent enemy, and from where the werewolf legend stems, among others. Understand why stories of Ghosts and Occultism permeates our society, and, most important, learn why Horror is such a necessary genre in today's world.
