Do you prefer stories that take place... in a city? In a rural area? On a beach? In a small town? In a foreign country? etc. etc? _________________ S.K. Slevinski

I like stories in settings that are bizarre or twisted reflections of our world, be it metropolitan or rural. In other words, I don't much care for anything in space or completely made up countries. I'm not sure if that makes sense. One example is the Arkham stories of Lovecraft. It is based on cities he was familiar with but seen through a moldy veil. _________________ Harker: ...I sometimes write stories.
Coroner: I sometimes read them.
Harker: Thank you.
Coroner: Stories in general--not yours.
