Duk Sauce asked Scott Hawkins:

Hi Mr. Hawkins, I really REALLY enjoyed the LIbrary at Mount Char. I'd never quite read a book like it. I was ready to give up halfway through but once the threads started coming together I was hooked. I was wondering who your influences were (I have a guess of one or two but I want to see if i'm right!) and what the inspiration behind the story was. Thank you! ? (I needed to include a question mark apparently)

This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Thank you so much - your response and my correct guess made my day! Sidebar, after I'd already submitted my question, I had a thunderclap moment - given Father could send David back in time, I thought OR Roanoke Colony! (of course, one of the other Librarians dealt with the bodies/skeletons - Margaret?) :) Thank you again! -Leslie
