Goodreads asked Justin Alcala:

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

Justin Alcala The Diaries of the Great Old One. Okay, maybe not. I've always been an admirer of Celtic Lore, and when I saw a chance to modernize their tales in the "Plenty Dreadful's" world, it was too good to be true. My wife and I traveled to Ireland and did a two week tour of the Emerald Isle. We went on tours, hiked in iconic fairy forests and heard stories from famous Irish folklorists known as Seanchaí.
