Nightmares exist outside of logic, and there’s little fun to be had in explanations; they’re antithetical to the poetry of fear. In a horror story, the victim keeps asking ‘why?’ But there can be no explanation, and there shouldn’t be one. The unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest, and it’s what we’ll remember in the end. My name is Alan Wake. I’m a writer.

The quote reminds of criticism for the movie Prometheus a few years ago, where the critic specifically complained that is was not sci fi horror. It was more about corporate greed. In horror, everyone does everything right, but the nightmare just keeps on coming for you.
