Quotes

  • "I have a theory that compulsive fiction writers are subconsciously working out traumas that happened to them when they were young. I call this process self-psychoanalysis."Writers Write: A Conversation With David Morrell (October 2002)
  • "Remember, I was a professor of American Literature. My goal has been to approach the thriller or the horror field as a wide-open type of fiction that most writers have not treated seriously. It is a total joy for me to explore these genres and take them in directions they hopefully haven't been taken before and treat them with a seriousness that I believe they deserve."Science Fiction Weekly: David Morrell interview
