A Goodreads user asked Paul Tremblay:

Hello! Just emerging, shaken, from The Cabin at the End of the World, and bought a couple more of your books. Thanks for the excellent writing! I hate ambiguous endings but found this one entirely justified. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the movie's divergence from the book's plot; from what online interviews I could find, you haven't said much about it? (It seems to me to be quite a different story!)

Paul Tremblay Hi, and thank you for reading. I like the movie but don't like the ending. Removing the ambiguity means we're rooting for the home invaders. We shouldn't be rooting for them, yeah? I think his ending is way bleaker than mine too. More blabbing about it here: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment...

Mason asked Paul Tremblay:

So I just finished reading Joe Hill's Plunge and saw that you were thanked for helping with the math, what an awesome and crazy credit, haha, though I now see in your bio you have a masters in mathematics so it makes more sense. Anyway my question is when are we getting the Paul Tremblay horror comic? If Hillhouse does a second run you gotta get in there.

Carey asked Paul Tremblay:

I read A Head Full of Ghosts last year and loved it. I'm running a library book club meeting about it on Wednesday night. You might not get this before then, and I know I'm late to the party with asking you about this book (because you have a new one out!), but I just read your io9 interview. Why you gotta hate on pickles, man? Also, I can't wait to see my book club devolve into arguments over what was going on.

Timothy asked Paul Tremblay:

Paul maybe this has been asked before and excuse me if it has .. I am currently reading " A headful of Ghosts". I am enjoying but having trouble pacing it linearly .... I had assumed the novel was "set" in current day with the past events of the possession 16 years in the past, but many cultural / pop references make this impossible, so does that mean the "present day" narrative is actually 16 years in our future ?
