What was your inspiration for the story?” CM: I had always read horror stories and fancied myself a horror story writer when I started. I had done a story for the radio when I was a DJ about a guy who finds out his girlfriend is a vampire and ends up putting her in the freezer until he can figure out what to do. I think I’d read an article in Science Digest about scientists having just successfully frozen and revived a bat, or perhaps that they thought they were close to being able to do that. Anyway, when I needed a third idea for a proposal for my third book, I threw in the vampire idea, almost as a throw-away, and the publisher picked it. I think the original story was influenced somewhat by Peter Beagle’s “Lila the Werewolf”. |
