Tell us a little about your writing process. I’m also a big fan of end-of-the-world books and movies. What inspired you to write Dark Inside and the fall of human civilization?ĭark Inside is based on reoccurring dreams I’ve been having since I was a teenager. Nothing really surprised me, I knew a lot about publishing from school. I had to stay up till two in the morning to make sure I was on time with chatting in New York. I was in South Korea and the time zone was crazy. It was pretty crazy and hard at the same time. Was there anything that surprised you about the process of publication? To start, please tell us about the week following your finding out that you would be published. Amid the throes of the apocalypse and clinging to love and meaning wherever it can be found, these four teens are on a journey into the heart of darkness–and to find each other and a place of safety. Each is fleeing unspeakable horror, from murderous chaos to brutal natural disasters, and each is traveling the same road in a world gone mad.

This is the world Mason, Aries, Clementine, and Michael are living in–or rather, trying to survive. But something even more awful is happening: An ancient evil has been unleashed, and it’s turning everyday people into hunters, killers, and crazies.
