Horror's Greatest Hits
Barbara asked this question about The Underground Railroad:

Harris I also did not like the literal undergrond train thing. A historical novel should stick to actual history. That was taking too much licence in my view…moreI also did not like the literal undergrond train thing. A historical novel should stick to actual history. That was taking too much licence in my view. Now thousands of readers will believe there really were underground trains. The real underground network was far more interesting. (less)
