Shainlock asked Ambrose Ibsen:

My husband and I are reading/ listening simultaneously to the series beginning with The Sickhouse starting Harlan Ulrich and we have the detective one ‘waiting in the wings’ so this is awesome news! He is so curmudgeonly and it strikes me as hilarious! Right away he begins to develop. Is he actually written to be amusing or is that just how I’m taking it ?

Ambrose Ibsen Thank you for your question!

Yes, Harlan Ulrich was certainly written to be amusing. He's very much a curmudgeon--but reveals himself to be a softie, too, from time to time. He's one of my favorite characters to write! The combination of humor and horror in those books is very satisfying for me, creatively speaking.
