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.

I think I missed something, but did Carolyn resurrect Steve on her own in Det. Miner's house? And how did he instantly find himself in jail for murder, instead of waking up in the same place, like others did when they were resurrected? The optimist in me wonders if you ever considered a scenario where Carolyn gets what she wants-a happy life with Steve. Thank you for this book. Thank you so much.
