I can certainly relate to the terror -- I first read LotR at the age of 13, in the full throws of realising my own mortality. Being dream-haunted/-hunted by Nazgul made that point very clear, let me tell you. But I am not of the mental fibre that enjoys horror movies, so I've never felt a wish to delve deeper into the Nazgul. Very much like Dementors, now that I correlate them -- stupidly obvious, now that I've seen the link. I wonder if anyone has ever written a sympathetic story about Dementors? Or a Dementor/Nazgul crossover?
