- Ah, a few disclaimers are in order: I have not met Mr. Munsch,
- nor have I read this particular story of his.
-
- However, he is a professional storyteller (that is, he makes his
- living by telling stories, not by writing books), and if he is anything
- like those pros I have met, much of what appears in his stories
- has, in fact, happened to him or those close to him.
-
-
- Of course, the only explanation for the success of those who
- produce fiction (as opposed to satire) is that their markets do,
- in fact, like to be manipulated emotionally.
