I really enjoyed The Cabin at the end of the World! Did you use any personal feelings as background for the characters Eric and Andrew?
Paul Tremblay
Thank you, Lori!
Oh I definitely use myself and other people I know to make characters. That's usually the jumping off point for them, then they become someone else through their choices and whatnot.
Without getting spoilery, in terms of the metaphysical argument they engage in, I'm probably 95% andrew, 5% eric. But that 5 percent can be persnickety. ;)

I read A Head Full of Ghosts last year and loved it. I'm running a library book club meeting about it on Wednesday night. You might not get this before then, and I know I'm late to the party with asking you about this book (because you have a new one out!), but I just read your io9 interview. Why you gotta hate on pickles, man? Also, I can't wait to see my book club devolve into arguments over what was going on.

Hi Paul, it's your number one fan, Rita. Hey, to be clear, it's not like a Misery way, I totally, 100% promise. I included you in my 2nd books for teachers list on my MiddleWeb blog this year. https://www.middleweb.com/44325/need-a-good-read-browse-ritas-2020-list/ So, the question is, do you ever get tired of all of the total adoration? Do you feel like fans are gah gah for you?
