Goodreads asked L.A. Little:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

L.A. Little Well, it's actually a re-write of a book I wrote and published in the small press world in the early 90s. The idea came to me while I was travelling as a music journalist on the Lollapalooza tour. I was alone the entire time, travelling through shady urban areas and lonely rural countryside, and then lost among tens of thousands people on these huge festival dates. It makes you feel very small when you go out across this vast and varied country on your own, and very alone to realize that you are isolated and unrecognized among 60,000 people. To me, those sorts of feelings lend themselves to a horror or dark fantasy story. I don't address those feelings as directly in the first book, but that's definitely the mood I'm after.
