Paul answered Lisa Allarid's question: Hi Paul! Thank you for sharing your talent with us! Pallbearers Club was such a fun read. I adored Art so much. My question is this: Do you wish you had started a club like this in high school? I do! Thank you, Lisa, and sorry for not seeing this question before. Nah, I don't wish I'd started a club. Though I do wish I had a friend/frenemy like Mercy. or mostly like Mercy. ;)

Quotes by Paul Tremblay (?)

“Ideas. I'm possessed by ideas. Ideas that are as old as humanity, maybe older, right? Maybe those ideas were out there just floating around before us, just waiting to be thought up. Maybe we don't think them, we pluck them out from another dimension or another mind.”
― Paul Tremblay, A Head Full of Ghosts
