The third one being Bent Heavens, and the other two being Blood Sugar and The Living Dead. Max Booth III: I have read three of your books now. It feels like why would I possibly want to do that? Except for financially, of course. The idea now of writing two books that are similar in feel-in sequence-just feels impossible to me. And then I have to hurdle new problems and throw up new obstacles that will make me have to think differently. But largely I've gone off in various Byzantine directions trying to create new problems that I can't get comfortable with. Bent Heavens sort of feels like those books. I've probably written one more, only one more, that kind of feels like that. It's very easy to just sort of do what you know how to do, right? After I wrote Rotters and Scowler at the beginning of my career, I think a lot of people would have been happy if I just continued to write books like that the rest of my career. I'm not entirely sure how it happens, but it's definitely something to do with me just getting better at it, you know? And this is despite my continual attempt to make it harder. Then it gets to the end of the year and somehow it's some tremendous number that seemed impossible.

You start a new year and you look at what you got going on and you think, all right, I'll write a couple of books this year maybe. But they will first exist as a series of comics. And I want to know how.ĭaniel Kraus: Well, I wrote eight books, and I'm being a little loose with the term in that I think a couple of those were comic books series that will eventually be a book. Max Booth III: You recently tweeted that you wrote eight novels last year.
