Hannah asked A.G. Howard:

Have you watched the Phantom of the Opera movie that was made by Andrew Lloyd Webber? What are some of the inspirations that you have gotten besides the book? Will the Phantom in your novel be as ugly as he is portrayed in the novel?

A.G. Howard Hi! Yes, I've watched the Phantom of the Opera movie, and attended the musical. I've also read the original Gaston Leroux book and Phantom by Susan Kay several times for character and setting inspiration.

As for your question about the Phantom's disfigurement, you'll have to read RoseBlood to get your answer. ;)
