Hi Brian, I recently discovered the wonderfully quaint town of Berkley Springs, WV. I felt I had been there before. Is Berkley Springs WV the inspiration for Brinkley Springs in "A Gathering of Crows"?
Brian Keene
Good question, Rick. The answer is...sort of. The fictional Brinkley Springs is a combination of the real life towns of Berkley Springs, Auto, and Frankfort. All three are very similar, and all three are near and dear to my heart. (Auto and Frankfort were inspiration for EARTHWORM GODS and the opening chapters of THE RISING, as well).
