Yeah, I'm inclined to agree...there are some writers that make me reconsider, but not that many.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Part of it may be my own grounding in magic realism and traditional ghost stories, at least as a writer. As a reader, I find "The haunting of Hill House" a hell of a lot scarier than something graphic and gory.

Well, Hitchcock would agree with you. At least about scariness...I don't think I've seen enough to comment on his sexual attitudes.

If his taste in icebox blondes is anything to go by, his sexual attitudes are probably pretty damned idiosyncratic....

Vertigo is a pretty naked expression of his particular fetish. That whole transformation scene is wound so tight with neurotic energy.

Ditto The Birds. He likes breaking down his icebox blondes.
And of course, there's always Psycho.

“Right,” said Terry. “Look, if Terry doesn’t want to do it himself, why don’t I just hire him a detective of some sort?
S/B "if James", right?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Victor, adoring it. Only question is the use of "wonder" three times in as many breaths - was that deliberate?
Almost. Two of them were for real. The one in the middle was just me getting carried away. Better now. Also, other typos fixed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Victor, I'm loving this, as always. Two very minor editing questions.
“There was note?” asked Faith. “I didn’t get a note.”
Something weird was happening back at ranch,
Should these be "a note" and "the ranch"?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Ooh, an African mask from an unknown shop. Cool. I'm ready for more now.
Erika, very nice. I don't think you need to add actual sex. I like the foggy with the bra over the lamp.
Connie, I want more of Giles and Ethan in China. I've been having a craving. Please?
