I was asked to participate in this vast, expanding blog tour
by the Horror Homemaker, Carole Lanham!
I apologize - I asked a bunch of people, but the expanding
chain letter had already reached them! So I can't refer you to the next group!
I can only offer you my humble Next Big Thing, my new project!
1) What is the working title of your next book? Pale Gods
2) Where did the idea come from for the book? I used to tell
people it's a zombie version of Moby-Dick, but I think that got too confusing,
since it's not about an undead whale. But I'm taking the underlying idea of
Melville's novel is not just whaling, but the idea of theodicy - God's disputed
justice and goodness in a world of infinite malice, cruelty, and randomness.
And what world is more violent and random than one overrun with the walking dead?
3) What genre does your book fall under? Horror and
post-apocalyptic
4) What actors would you choose to play the part of your
characters in a movie rendition? I like Edward Norton for his ordinariness, and
the Ahab character should be Bruce Willis
5) What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? In a
world where the undead control the continents, a team foraging for supplies
becomes increasingly obsessed with the undead's seemingly increasing
intelligence.
6) Will your book be self-published or represented by an
agency? Published by Permuted Press, due in November 2013
7) How long did it take you to write the first draft of the
manuscript? About two years
8) What other books would you compare this story to within
your genre? Monster
Island by David
Wellington
9) Who or what inspired you to write this book? See above -
Melville's Moby-Dick
10) What else about the book might pique the reader's
interest? Smart zombies!
