Hi Paul, i'm becoming a huge fan of you, already read A house full of ghosts and i'm currently reading Dissapearance at Devils Rock and i'm loving it, do you know a movie called Lake Mungo? it's an australian horror movie, the book really reminded me the movie, it has something to do with it?

Hi, Yomaira!
Thank you for the kind words and reads!
Oh, I love Lake Mungo. It's one of my favorite movies of recent years (that and Take Shelter would make a good double bill). With DR, I definitely tried to play with a Mungo-ian vibe. I also got inspiration from two other Aussie films, Picnic at Hanging Rock and The Snowtown Murders, and a Joyce Carol Oates short story that started me on the path to becoming a reader and writer. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of the book.

You couldn't have known about COVID when you drafted. But- masks, speed, ignoring medical knowledge, co-opting by wing-nuts- it's COVID. And Remola knows better. But, she puts everyone else at risk to help her BFF. I get that. I think I would do that. As I understand it, you're a teacher too. What's the lesson for us with school opening? Maybe there is none. But, it's impossible for me to drop that lens. You?

Ran out of room—sorry. OP made an incredible movie, The Blackcoat’s Daughter and I thought he would be perfect to make AHFOG. But then I read he was no longer attached which is a shame? What happened and so you know who’s directing the movie? Ben Wheatley, in my opinion would do a great job as well. Whom did you imagine helming or who was on your list of hopefuls. I can only imagine how personal it is to hand it over.
