I'm only halfway through The Library at Mount Char but I'm captivated. I know you've been asked about a sequel, but aside from that, are you planning on releasing anything else in the near future? Your imagination (internal demons?!) is brilliant.
Scott Hawkins
YES!
Thanks for asking. I had kind of a false start with what I originally intended as the follow-up to Mount Char. It was an unrelated story, and it just sort of fizzled. That cost me about a year, and I ended up scrapping the whole thing.
Anyway, since then (September 2016-ish) I've been working on an unrelated followup. I have a complete first draft which I am polishing.
It's not related to Mount Char. If you can picture Looney Tunes doing a noir-ish detective story starring a hard-boiled version of Scooby Doo investigating the Exorcist, that's kind of the ballpark I'm shooting for. Hopefully it'll be ready to start showing around in a couple of months.

This is more of a fangush disguised as a question. I just finished the book and compared reaading you to when I first discovered Stephen King. A whole new disturbing world opened up. Wow! So here is my question. How disturbed were your dreams when you were writing this? In other words, did you find it hard to keep this wonderfully interesting world from intruding on your real world as you wrote the book?
