Disturbed Authors or Not?

    Authors that makes "sick and twisted" books or navels, do not have to be a disturbed person to write disturbing stories. For example, Edgar Allan Poe, was a great very intelligent man. He had a lot of deaths around him, yes, but that does not mean he want over the bend!  He might have been emotionally troubled, because of what he'd seen through out his life. If you don't know who he is, he was a great man who wrote dark poems and short stories. When he was young, his mother died of Tuberculosis. Later on in life, his adopted mom, brother, and wife (and cousin) died of Tuberculosis. But, out side of his scary, horrific, stories and and his horrible life, he was a caring and wonderful husband to his cousin Virginia.
     Another example, would be in the movie "Nightmare on Elm Street" by Wes Craven. That is a crazy disturbing movie, but he's the farthest this being a loony! All I'm trying to say is that people that make scary, disturbing, fearful movies or stories does not mean they are disturbing or crazy! It's called being creative, using your fears or imagination in your work!
