You've probably read Shirley Jackson,but if not, I strongly suggest "The Haunting of Hill House", "The Sundial" and (especially) "We Have Always Lived in the Castle". Also try Susan Hill's "The Woman in Black" or Peter Straub's "Ghost Story" or "Shadowland.
Hope that helps, and thanks for reading!

I don't really believe in writer's block. There have been times where I have been a bit stuck on a plot point or something,but usually I can think my way through them pretty well.

Music is always a huge inspiration. Most of my characters come to me when I'm listening to a certain song.

The campsite featured in Ash is based on an actual campsite I visited many times as a child. The overall plot was inspired by the horror novels of the 80's and 90's that I grew up reading,and loving.
