An Interview with Chuck Palahniuk

"Some writers research in order to write. I write in order to research topics that interest me. Especially if I can meet with other people, in forums from illness support groups to phone-sex hotlines, and learn what other people know best. Every character (really, person) sees the world through a framework of education and experience that they're proud experts about." by Michael Farrelly

An Interview with Seth

"The modern world is very ugly… and the pop culture is so mind-numbingly dumb that you have to make a conscious effort to shut it out. That’s why I’m considered a “nostalgia guy.” I just like things from the past better." by Bryan Miller

An Interview with James Hynes

"I'm about as nonviolent and nerdy a guy as you could find. But like a lot of people of my generation who grew up watching violent movies, I have an incredibly violent imagination. So it kind of alarmed me. That, and the end of The Wild Colonial Boy, where I had somebody plants a bomb in an art museum and then had the bomb go off. After I wrote that scene, I was shaking." by Michael Schaub

An Interview with Kage Baker

"I must admit that there seems to be a theme of angry women running through a lot of the stories. And angry little girls. I suspect that if I ever let my inner child out to play, dreadful things would happen." by Adrienne Martini
