Goodreads asked Vasily Pugh:

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

Vasily Pugh There seems to be so much Post-Apocalyptic fiction around at the moment whether it be on television, cinema or in print. Yet I found that a fascinating subject always gets the Big Guns, Sweaty Men, Pouting Women kind of treatment - there's also a love of seeing people or zombies shot in the face in the most sensual way, as if we should all high-five when it happens. Yet quite a few people are ordinary, are not comfortable with violence and bazookas and just want to get through the next day - why not tell their story?
