DeMy favourite was Devil in the White City (shudder), but this one was great. You make these people real and human. No question, just a thank you. Hmmm. Will not accept comment without question mark, so, did researching Herman Mudgett give you night terrors?
Erik Larson
Researching Mudgett did not give me night terrors. Researching Hitler for my In the Garden of Beasts came closer to doing so.

I am really looking forward to reading your new book. The Lusitania has always fascinated me, though not as much as Titanic. One of my favorite books ever is The Devil in the White City. Did you spend time Chicago visiting the sites and locations when you did research, and where did you find all the minute details about the creation of the White City and the series of murders that transpired during the fair?

After I have finished one of your books, I always have a lingering feeling of wanting to go back. It's horrible when the story ends! Do you as the author ever have these feelings of emptiness when your tale is finished? Thank you for these stories that actually take the reader to another place and time.
