Goodreads asked Richard Thomas:

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

Richard Thomas I took a class with Jack Ketchum and he talked about writing down your greatest fears. That became DISINTEGRATION (Random House Alibi, 2015) a story of a man that sees his family die in a car accident and then falls apart, disintegrates. He ends up becoming a hired killer, kind of DEXTER meets FALLING DOWN. Dark story—at the end, when I finished writing, I cried, thought I might throw up. Was tough being that guy for two years.
