Kate asked Alma Katsu:

Started on your 'Fervor' and wanted to say, it's as engrossing as 'Hunger'! Will likely finish it late in bed and keep a light on 'cause it's scary!!!! ;) Where I live, trees get covered in a kind of 'spiderweb' each summer, causing them to look like skeletons in mesh. It's harmless, tree recover, once whatever insect is involved leaves. Is this similar to whatever inspired Japanese demons?

Alma Katsu What a beautiful, evocative scene you describe... I don't know that we have anything similar here. Perhaps less lovely, I have seen tree branches enmeshed in shrouds from various insects. We do have lots and lots of spiders where I live, which is quite rustic and remote, and so envisioning spider swarms is no problem at all :-)

I loved your book! I am reading Old Bones now by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Childs. It is about the Donner family as well. I was wondering whether you collaborated on their book? Thank you!

Jay Heubner asked Alma Katsu:

Alma, in your book 'The Deep', is Annie possessed by Lillith from before the time she boards the Titanic??? As I tried to piece it all together, the ending led me to believe that this was the case. Help!
