Top Retellings of Classic Tales

Amanda asked Jeremy Bates:

Hi Jeremy! I was wondering how you decide which areas you've chosen for your World's Scariest Places series? As someone who lives about 20 minutes from "Helltown, OH", I'm curious as to how you'd heard of it?

Jeremy Bates Hi Amanda! Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been on Goodreads lately.
Regarding your question, I actually just punch in "Scary Places" into google and see what comes up lol.

Suicide Forest was a bit of a personal project because I've been there and lived in Japan for a while. Same with The Catacombs--I visited it and thought it would be a great location.

I've never been to Helltown, but when I started reading about it, it sounded like all the best eighties horror movies I've watched smushed into one! So that's why I chose it.

Hope that answers your question! And I'm curious...what's Helltown actually like? I assume you've been there?

Gary Kittle asked Jeremy Bates:

I am in the process of publishing suspense fiction in e-book format, so I decided to pick on one author that I could learn from in terms of style, content, marketing, etc. Though I have lots of questions I would like to ask you, I wondered if you might like to start by asking me why it was you and your books in particular that I chose (if that isn't too forward)?
