What is Story Addict?
Whether you’re a narrator or a listener, you may be wondering: what do the modern mainstreams have in common? What is it I love about reading/watching that story other than “I relate to it” or “It’s just my cup of tea?” Because, let’s face it, millions of people don’t just happen to like the same brand of tea. Unless it’s made by vampires. Here’s how it’s done.
Featured Quote
“My cousin Helen, who is in her 90s now, was in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. She and a bunch of the girls in the ghetto had to do sewing each day. And if you were found with a book, it was an automatic death penalty. She had gotten hold of a copy of ‘Gone With the Wind’, and she would take three or four hours out of her sleeping time each night to read. And then, during the hour or so when they were sewing the next day, she would tell them all the story. These girls were risking certain death for a story. And when she told me that story herself, it actually made what I do feel more important. Because giving people stories is not a luxury. It’s actually one of the things that you live and die for.”
— Neil Gaiman (Creator of Hugo, Coraline, and Stardust)
