I agree with 'being able to explore and work out our demons through our writing.' I also, however, have to agree with 'that it's impolite to do so in reality.' Somehow, I think too that even though we go deep at times into the mind of the depraved, putting it down on paper distances us from the reality of it. That sounds nutty when I read it back, but it makes sense to me; it's just hard to explain.

We work it out through the writing, but we also set the world straight on its axis in that the "bad" guy gets caught and brought to justice and so the world is set right.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, more often than not justice is not found for the victims in real life.<br />

It's the same reason horror remains a popular genre.<br />

"Isolation and a sense of loss whisper throughout my prose like something perpetually stirring in the wind." <b>-- P. Cornwell</b><br />

Wonder if she's going to blurb herself on the next book?

Two thoughts: first, Ms. Cornwell aggrandizes herself, a bit. Second, I can only speak for myself, but part of the reason I kill people on the page is that it's impolite to do so in reality.
