Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Schedule Slip: The third book, Absolute Midnight, took seven years to finish, officially getting out on September 27, 2011--drawing deep sighs of relief from the fandom.
  • Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: For the first book, Barker admits that most of the pictures came first, and a story just kind of sprung up around them. He's planned the rest a bit more carefully, though.
