After reading the article I said nearly the exact the same words to my housemate about it. Although the subject matter also sickens me the thought that someone could face up to 30 years in prison and a £1.5million fine for writing 6 stories, fantasy stories, makes me both angry and sad in equal measure. I do not know this writer and have zero knowledge (or interest) in this subject matter but it seems to me that this writer is being treated as harshly, if not unfortunately more so, than someone who actually commits the crimes depicted... watch out Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendal, Dean Koontz ...
