the moment i started reading JDATE is pretty memorable for me cause it happen after really long and hard trip on acid with my friends, when we sat in front of hospital we lived next to. And at the very beginning of reading that book the question come to my mind, have You ever experienced with any psychedelics, or were the psychedelic topics any inspiration for You?

David Wong I get this question a lot! I've never done any drugs of any kind, and in fact have never had alcohol. That's not sarcasm! Had a very religious upbringing and never partied at all. No pot, no nothing.

Bill asked David Wong:

What are your tips for getting characters out of tough spots without it seeming like bullshit? Any time I read your stuff I go "damn there really is no way for them to get out of this" and when they do, I never think "oh, come on." Do you come up with the solution first, then create a problem?

Craig Zadow asked David Wong:

What are some of your favorite horror authors and do you agree with Stephen King's assessment that to be a good writer one must read a lot?
