The Bone Carver: Exploring Stalkers and their Habits

ALERT: This post may contain spoilers of The Bone Carver (The Night Weaver #2). That said: If you currently find yourself in a situation where you think you may have a stalker or you’re curious about stalkers in general for safety reasons … Screw the book. READ THIS POST. Your safety is far more important to me than a possible spoiler.

With The Bone Carver finally released, I thought I’d delve deeper into the twisted psychology of the villain in this book. Yes, I’ve gleaned over what inspired my villain before, but I didn’t quite get into the nitty-gritty details because … phew! The research will take you to some truly disturbing places on the internet. What’s more: The Bone Carver’s brain is a minefield I had to tone down for a Young Adult audience. So, a lot of what you’ll read in the actual book is surface stuff. I mean, it’s a YA book, so it has to be kind of kid-friendly, you know?

Nevertheless, I know there are some readers who may be interested in learning more about certain aspects of the villain and how his behaviour relates to real life. Because yes, these things do actually happen in real life and I want you, my wonderful readers, to be as safe as possible.

Don’t worry, I’m gonna tone things down a lot so you get the facts and not the gore.
