There's room for every writing style and there's plenty of readers out there who will enjoy each style. I've never really understood the criticism. I don't get the need for people to look down on anything, and like you said, it's especially frustrating when clearly they're not the target audience.
"Juvenile" should not be used as a way of dismissing popular culture because of who its intended audience is. It does the people who create it and their motivations a grave disservice.
It's better to say that it's badly written than that it is for kids and therefore badly written.
Loving this. I love the “entertaining” as well as the kings and barkers, the brites, and most recently bizarro and comedy horror. Jason pargin! Reading his new one right now, and loving it. John dies at the end! I don’t always want extreme or serious, or cliche haunted houses. Make me laugh at the horror story and it’s entertaining as hell. These are often “palette cleansers” between more extreme stories.
Well said. Thanks for the shoutout too!
Bravo!
