Horror for Newbies
Claire Bartlett
Claire Bartlett asked Julia Nobel:

Your book sounds really interesting. What made you choose the setting that you did?

Julia Nobel I chose North Norfolk because it of its remoteness--it isn't really 'on the way' to anywhere. Norfolk is part of a larger region called East Anglia, which is the part of England that sticks out like a boot in the North Sea. As I started researching Norfolk and its history, that research started shaping the history of the school and of The Order of Black Hollow Lane. I got a chance to visit Norfolk about six years ago, and even though I only spent a day there, all that wind and dense sea air really shaped what the school feels like!
