If I knew that a book was a mix of horror and comedy, zany or otherwise, then I could be interested. Kind of like the Buffy television series I guess, poking fun at horror concepts but able to lay on the scary (as scary as network tv can get, anyway) as well.


I think the only kind of scare or horror that a Vinnie story can evince is when a fairly light moment suddenly twists. I'll see what I can do.

I like the Buffy analogy, but of course TV can do that juxtaposition earier than literature. TV can change mood from funny to scary using music or lighting or lots of other audiovisual tricks. Writing only gets words, and they're more difficult to use to say BOO!
