Anna asked Paul Tremblay:

I see that Karen's name was a shoutout to Last Final Girl, but was her and Dr Navidson's names also both shoutouts to House of Leaves? PS Listening to Poe's Haunted album totally works while reading your book too. As does, strangely, Matt Beringer's side project, El Vey.

Paul Tremblay Karen was a shot out to the real Karen Brissette who is one of the more popular reviewers on Goodreads. The Last Final Girl is reference to a novel by Stephen Graham Jones (good friend and writer, his name appears in my book elsewhere as a character). And yeah, Navidson is definitely a reference to HOUSE, one of my all-time favorite books. So cool that you listed to Haunted while reading!

A Goodreads user asked Paul Tremblay:

Just finished A Head Full of Ghosts, and have just started Disappearance, just wanted to say that I really love your cinematic storytelling style. Wondered why we haven't seen trailers for the movies that almost certainly could (and should) be made of your books, or if they're on the way? Also, is it a deliberate choice to write cinematically or is it just a matter of it being your style of writing? Thanks!

Jenn McGrath asked Paul Tremblay:

I just finished Disappearance at Devil's Rock. I grew up in the area (Stoughton) and I think you really nailed the setting, and also nailed the teen boy characterizations. Are the teen boys in your story modeled after your students?
