“Ms. Hamilton is talking to a policeman: Asking about ghouls in a cemetery raiding graves, I said ‘I know that in real life that doesn’t happen,’ and he got the strangest look on his face.

That was the moment I realized that anything I’ll ever come up with on paper has already been done. -- interview in Locus magazine, 2000”
