Goodreads asked Sean Best:

How do you get inspired to write?

Sean Best Writing inspiration for me comes from haunting voices calling from very far away distant places that are shrouded in mists of mystery bejeweled with ancient primeval occult secrets that are whispered in Legends amid the ruddy glow and dancing shadows of campfires and boiling cauldrons of witchy ghostly lore. When I see a weed-choked abandoned burial ground with leaning crumbling tombstones or a set of stairs so old that the steps are worn low in the center or a barnacle-encrusted trawler sunk to the gunwales worm-eaten wood rotting in the ebbing tide or a dusty cobweb-smothered trunk in the sinister shadows of a silent attic I am swept away by the euphoria of hushed echoes of yesterday and eyes from the past that watch....and wait. Thrilling words of the macabre flood from my excited mind filling page after page with beguiling intrigue in the specter of spooky characters and eerie plot.
