Collin Keen asked Erik Larson:

First, I am huge fan of your books, and thank you for the stories. Have there been immensely intriguing subjects that you have not written about (either they aren't done yet, or maybe they don't translate into a full book)?

Michael Bowler

Michael Bowler asked Erik Larson:

I am really looking forward to reading your new book. The Lusitania has always fascinated me, though not as much as Titanic. One of my favorite books ever is The Devil in the White City. Did you spend time Chicago visiting the sites and locations when you did research, and where did you find all the minute details about the creation of the White City and the series of murders that transpired during the fair?
