For me, that description fits a range of books, including Fantastic Mr Fox (which I remember being the first book I read through obsessively), Dracula or Gormenghast; and writers such as Shirley Jackson, Philip K. Dick, J. G. Ballard, H.P. Lovecraft, Caitlin R. Kiernan and Angela Carter.Apart from that, I’m a musical obsessive and a poor guitar player. The key characters in my first novel, Feline Alchemy, were based on two cats I lived with, sisters called George and Bootsy (named after George Clinton and Bootsy Collins of Funkadelic, obviously).I live in Milton Keynes, England.view less
