lotb asked Paul Tremblay:

Given that you still work full time as a teacher and yet publish books on a regular basis, how do the two worlds bleed into each other? More specifically, what do your students make of your career as a writer (do they comment on your books or talk about horror generally with you, has there been any backlash from students and / or their parents, etc.).

Paul Tremblay It's difficult for me to answer the first question. I didn't start writing until I started teaching. I really don't know one without the other. My students get a kick out of it, I think. It's really only been within the last year or two that I get kids telling me they've read a book or will read one. Same with parents. No backlash. Everyone connected to my school has been if not supportive, then at least tolerant.

Dude. I'm not obsessed with you. It just seems that way because this is the third question I've asked. But, if we were hanging out and having coffee or a beer I'd been asking you a lot more questions. So three really isn't that many and certainty doesn't connote obsessions (me thinketh the lady bullshit aside...) So question: What? You don't have a uvula? Are you sure? Because that seems kinda odd.

Patty Abarno asked Paul Tremblay:

hi Paul- So, I just finished "The Cabin at the End of the World" and I cannot stop thinking about this novel! Can you give me some incite into how you wanted the reader to interpret the ending? I read the book cover to cover in one day at the beach! It was so intense and well written, while also so full of twists and doubts. I'd love to hear back from you if you have the time! Thanks! Patty

Rita Platt asked Paul Tremblay:

Oh Paul! I LOVED The Little Sleep so much and am looking forward to the next book. So much so that I occasionally find myself feeling on edge and when I reflect on why, it's because I realize that I can't remember when I'll be able to read the book! It's preordered for my Kindle. The day I get it, will be a "leave me alone day" for sure. The question is, do you anticipate this being a series?
