Goodreads asked Steven B. Williams:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Steven B. Williams A focus for the book was putting a queer-identifying character who shares some of my traits (read: vices) and lives in Yorkshire where I come from, in a world where monsters are marauding on the hills and he has to deal with having dark and deadly powers while also managing his life in all its boring but brilliant detail. Growing up I longed for books that represented who I was and what I wanted to see, so the idea for the book crystallized around that.
