With sci-fi you get these kind of stories in historical drama, and it's just so fabulous.

I've never seen myself as a fantasy writer - ever.

Urban Fantasy is a subgenre pretty much designed for teenagers. It's pretty twee, but I adore it. I've been trying to come up with an Urban Fantasy comic ever since I'd read the Nancy Collins 'Sonja Blue' series years ago.

Science fiction without the science just becomes, you know, sword and sorcery, basically stories about heroism and not much more.

I'm so excited to see 'Horns' because it's so many different genres in one film. It's a sci-fi, it's a love story, it's a horror movie, it's a fairy tale.
