What really counts is less how believable we find the scary thing in the story, but how believable we find the characters who encounter those scary things in the story.
That's a really smart thing Andrew Pyper said, and it explains completely why I think Diane Setterfield's Bellman & Black is stronger than her Thirteenth Tale (which I'll shut up about in due course).
Has anyone read Andrew Pyper? Do you recommend him?
Andrew Pyper will be at Concordia University tomorrow night, part of the Writers Read series. (I may are may not be going.)
Later this week, Emma Donaghue.
