Erich w/ an h asked Jason Pargin:

Hey Jason! You've mentioned that your upcoming novel ("I'm Starting To Worry About This Black Box Of Doom") is a standalone. When coming into this novel, did you decide first that it was going to be a standalone, or did you have a plot that wasn't working within the JDatE or Zoey universes?

Jason Pargin Oh no just to be clear: there are no supernatural or sci-fi elements to this upcoming novel! It is a ticking-clock thriller that takes place present day, in our world! So yeah it was always its own idea, I'd been thinking about it for years and am hoping that existing fans will go along for the ride
