“I wonder if what’s happening to horror now, is what happened to comics?” — @SGJ72 on the recent trend of elevated horror @EmiratesLitFest #EmiratesLitFest#مهرجان_طيران_الإمارات_للآداب pic.twitter.com/6gZUcnjoKN

We were joined by @davideagleman, @perthectpolly & @SGJ72 as they read excerpts from their books, and discussed the purpose of fear in their writing and how it can be used to keep a reader turning pages rather than scaring them away#EmiratesLitFest pic.twitter.com/z7iQhCUK8L
