Goodreads asked Paul Boulet:

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

Paul Boulet Serial Murders of Mars came from a lot of different sources, too numerous for anything short of an essay. For those who are looking, you’ll see some Voltaire and Verne strewn about in those pages. How could you not given the genera? Did anyone find Harry Blount familiar? Also, you might find some Lord Byron lurking behind the mask of a different name. If anyone has an eye for the “true crime” aspects, how about references to one of the most notorious serial killer in US history? (Note, spoiler omitted.) In truth, there’s some concrete inspiration derived from my employment in corporate America which offers as much material for a good horror story as any other.
