Just finished A Head Full of Ghosts, and have just started Disappearance, just wanted to say that I really love your cinematic storytelling style. Wondered why we haven't seen trailers for the movies that almost certainly could (and should) be made of your books, or if they're on the way? Also, is it a deliberate choice to write cinematically or is it just a matter of it being your style of writing? Thanks!

Hi, Brendan. Thank you for the reads and kind words. Focus Features is working on developing a movie version of A Head Full of Ghosts, but we're still more than a year away from anything coming out/happening (if it happens at all). Nothing on Devil's Rock.
I guess it's more of a function of my own writing style. There are plenty of interior moments in both books, but yeah, I spent quite a bit of time on setting and atmosphere. I think with a horror novel that's difficult to avoid.

I read a head full of ghosts and LOVED it so much Ive been recommending it to everyone I talk to about books (so alot) and now I'm almost done with Dissapearance at Devils Rock. I listened to them both on Audible, great choices for narrators by the way.... Anyways, what I wanted to ask is when a new fan has finished those, which book would you recommend next?

I'm a little more than half way through Head Full of Ghosts. Fantastic read so far. I was wondering what inspired you to write a book that clearly pays homage to exorcism books and movies that came before, but in a way that (so far) subverts the well established tropes of all of them? Did it start out as a more conventional Exorcism story and evolve?
