The spookiest thing for me is when I think I see something, and then nothing is there. I always imagine I see something, or I'll catch movement out of the corner of my eye, but nothing is really there.

I'm always interested in the spooky repurposing of everyday things.

I figure I basically am a ghost. I think we all are.

I'm very much a bit of a ghost presence.

I pretend something scary is in front of me.

I've always been drawn to spooky things, to the unusual, to things that are dark but in a friendly way.

It must be odd, being recognisable. I would hate to lose that anonymity. It happened for a while with 'Spooks.' No one notices me now.

I think about the characters I've created and then I sit down and start typing and see what they will do. There's a lot of subconscious thought that goes on. It amazes me to find out, a few chapters later, why I put someone in a certain place when I did. It's spooky.

If I read a scary story in the newspaper, I find I'm haunted by it.
