Spine-tingling quotes from classic & modern horror authors

Here are some of the best spine-tingling quotes from classic and modern horror authors, curated by the Viewax review team.

“By looking at the world through a supernatural prism I can step back from my own real-life fears of loss and death, and make them feel a little bit safer when I write stories with characters who are facing things that I’ll never have to face.” —Tananarive Due

“We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.” —Stephen King

“Horror fiction shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.” —Clive Barker

“The way that people feel changes everything. Feelings are forces. They cause us to time travel. And to leave ourselves, to leave our bodies. I would be that kind of psychologist who says, ‘You’re absolutely right – there are monsters under the bed.’” —Helen Oyeyemi

“I think that’s part of the horror writer’s job: to create unsettling juxtapositions. You find something that seems harmless and innocent, and pair it with aspects that are disturbing.” —Joe Hill

“What terrified me will terrify others; and I need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow.”—Mary Shelley

“The best monsters are our anxieties given form. They make sense on the level of a dream – or a nightmare.” —Victor LaValle

“The way humor’s usually used in horror, it’s as a pressure-release valve; without it, the drama would escalate out of all control almost immediately.” —Stephen Graham Jones

“How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.” —Bram Stoker
