And that's basically what we did basically for three years. Every Friday, my brother and I would go to Crazy Eddie's-which was a video store in Manhattan-and rent five horror movies. In '82 and '83, that was the rise of the VCR. And then junior high, for me, was the rise of all kinds of horror movies, whether it was splatter flicks like Prom Night and other Jamie Lee Curtis classics, or Dario Argento, or John Carpenter. What were some of those books or comics that were especially important to you? Growing up devouring horror comics and novels, and being inspired to become a writer because of horror novels, movies, and comic books, I always knew I was going to write a horror novel. I'm just trying to keep things rich for me creatively and for the readers who follow me. So Sag Harbor is very different from Apex Hides the Hurt The Intuitionist, which is kind of a dectective novel, is very different from John Henry Days. I try to keep each different book different from the last. When did you decide you were going to write about the undead? It's a major departure, at least on the surface. Your last book was about summer vacation on Long Island.
