"Only real things matter in this life, and there's enough nasty realness to keep you worried and scared without inventing other mad stuff. The things to be frightened of in this world are just around the corner, hiding in your beans-on toast existence, That's where true evil breeds best. Under your noses, in plain sight: it's domestic abuse of the terrified wife three doors down and her neighbor's who turn the telly up to drown out the noise; it's the nurse in the care home who hates herself and takes it out on the patients; its the kids too scared to speak out; it's the man kicking his dog in the ribs because it doesn't bite back...it's everywhere around us. Society, that's the Petri dish where evil flourishes, not in empty old houses like this beauty"
