Larry Nocella statement: I've always thought of myself as a frustrated movie director who found his success in writing. I enjoy films but found the process too slow and the medium a bit limiting. I've always believed a word is worth a thousand pictures. Say \"parent\" to people and inside their heads there will be as many images as there are people. Plus, writing is so much easier. If I want a fleet of ships in the sky, a few sentences and there they are. Each medium has its benefits and drawbacks, and I enjoy them all, but as far as what I want to do as an artist, prose is my home.","products":[{"product_id":"four-weird-tales-of-horror-paperback","title":"Four Weird Tales of Horror - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eFOR REASONS UNKNOWN AND UNKNOWABLEAuthorities are calling it the American Dyatlov Pass incident.
