More From Patrick Rothfuss

All stories are true,” skarpi said. “but this one really happened, if that’s what you mean.” he took another slow drink, then smiled again, his bright eyes dancing. “more or less. you have to be a bit of a liar to tell a story the right way. too much truth confuses the facts. too much honesty makes you sound insincere.

Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.

Silly Men Self
I have always felt a little bit uncomfortable with question [why i'm write these stories]. it's not a question that you would ask a guy that writes detective stories or the guy that writes mystery stories, or westerns, or whatever. but it is asked of the writer of horror stories because it seems that there is something nasty about our love for horror stories, or boogies, ghosts and goblins, demons and devils.
