About This Quote

The power of fascination is the ability to draw you in, making you want to see more. It makes you want to find out more about what’s going on. It makes you want to learn more. This is not always a positive thing. Fear can be an equally powerful force drawing you in, making you scared for your safety and getting stuck in the story.
