Goodreads asked Stacey Dighton:

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

Stacey Dighton The latest book, 'The Hawk and the Raven', is a sequel to a novel I self published in 2019, called 'Pale Face and the Raven'. While it is a sequel, it also works really well as a standalone story. I was inspired to add a cannibalism element when I read about the story of Sawney Bean, the head of a family of cannibals that lived in a cave in the south-west of Scotland in the seventeenth century. The myth actually inspired the film, 'The Hills Have Eyes'. I used it as a platform to launch the various elements of the story from.
