"Chimehour" actually came from several sources at once. Its recipe calls for:
-Irish folklore, which I grew up with and always had an interest in.
-Victorian/Edwardian literature, particularly writers like Wilde, Doyle, and Yeats.
-Zombies, of the modern sort. "Night of The Living Dead", "Zombieland", and comics like "The Walking Dead" and "Highschool of The Dead" were huge influences on my more folklore-based Revenant (who do pop up in real Irish folklore).
-Crows.
-Various music from Loreena McKinnet, Florence + The Machine, Emilie Autumn, The Chieftains, Panic! At The Disco, and Katzenjammer. Also a whole album by Lindsay Stirling.
-A desire for more male protagonists in YA.
-A love of steampunk/neo-Victorian everything.
-Yet more crows.
Place in blender and set to purée until ready. Serve over historical context and a top with a sprinkling of classic Victorian poetry.
