Goodreads asked Michael Clark:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Michael Clark I was tired of not seeing what I wanted on bookshelves and in the movies. A lot of professionals don't understand "chilling", and often resort to jump scares or too much information. For example, "Jaws"(the movie) was scary because you didn't see the shark for the first half of the movie. We need more "chilling" and "haunting" and less gore and creepy people crawling across the ceiling IMO.
