Goodreads asked David Wong:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

David Wong I have to resist the temptation to make my own life sound more interesting than what it is, I'm a very mundane person who stays at home all the time and edits website articles. I think the only mysterious thing that's ever happened to me was when I was younger, a small boy used to appear in my closet every night and whisper random numbers at me for hours at a time. But that topped after we moved. When I asked my parents about it my father just shook me by the shoulders and screamed that I needed to remember the numbers, that everything depended on it, but I never could. There were too many.
