Paul answered Tess's question: I absolutely love everything you write. You're one of my favorite modern horror writers. As I've now read everything you've written so far, I was curious, is there a new book on the horizon? :) Thank you, Tess. I have a new novel called Survivor Song coming July 7, 2020.

“Ideas. I'm possessed by ideas. Ideas that are as old as humanity, maybe older, right? Maybe those ideas were out there just floating around before us, just waiting to be thought up. Maybe we don't think them, we pluck them out from another dimension or another mind.”
