Hi, Paul. You may have already answered this question, but I didn't go back very far in the question section. When did you start writing and what brought you to it? I think that I first read you in an anthology but don't remember which exactly. I read both novels and short stories. I enjoy anthologies for the reason that I find new, lesser known authors to read.
Paul Tremblay
I started in my mid-twenties (not sure why to be honest, as I had no writing training, and went to school for mathematics), got serious in my late 20's early 30's and it was a long, windy climb from there. Reading Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, Peter Straub, Clive Barker, Kurt Vonnegut, Shirley Jackson and more inspired me to try my hand at it.

You know I love your books. You are my favorite author Fer reals. I am listening to your Rocktober Poplife Podcast episode. I just can't imagine how anyone squares "best-selling author" with their own biography. Two questions: 1. Did you know you'd be this successful/popular? 2. Do you ever wake up and think...."Naw. This can't be real in a Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime" way?

Hey Paul, thanks for being my new favorite author. Honestly, I cried when I read A cabin at the end of the world, and I couldn't sleep last night after I finished A head full of ghosts, because I was scared. You are doing a great job and I enjoy reading you a lot. So my question is: do you plan on writing a sequel to A head full of ghosts? Or a story focus on Merry, cause I LOVE HER and I don't want to say goodbye!
