Really interesting newsletter, Clay! I never really thought about romance and horror being so similar, but it totally makes sense! At the end of the day, humans are just animals and we resonate with our base instincts, so of course we'd want to engage with them in our fiction.
Thanks for reading, MJ! Yeah, I think they are two sides of the same coin/fulfilling a similar primal need. There's a reason these two genres are evergreen!
