Are angels and demons created by the living human psyche like the monster from the ID of Forbidden Planet, no god required?

No God is required. However, you must add water.

Jeff VanderMeer:
When I got my book published, I was told that I couldn't publish another book for two years, for fear of cannibalizing my own sales. You're releasing three hardbacks in a year. Is this a new publishing idea--a reflection, say, of pressure from ebooks (where single authors sell many books a year)--or is it just a trilogy-specific marketing plan that isn't reacting to ebook realities at all? Why did they let you do it?

Hello Jeff - I have been enjoying the Southern Reach books very much, but I am utterly confused about exactly what rotten honey would smell like given it doesn't rot. Why choose an odor that is impossible to imagine? Thank you for taking the time to satiate my curiosity. Best, Michelle

You've built some pretty outrageous and fantastic worlds in your writing, but are able to draw the reader in so easily. I've never had a point when starting one of your books where I am at all reticent to dive in completely. Is there a process for this world creation? Do you have a set map in your head from the beginning or does it kind of grow along with the story?
