Bryce Wilson asked Jason Pargin:

You've mentioned being into some youtube horror channels, but since Twitter is now a nightmare to navigate I can't find them. Is there any interesting work in indie horror you'd like to showcase? Authors too? P.S. Since you've mentioned not getting much fanmail about it, I just wanted to say that I loved If This Book Exists, second only to Spiders in my rankings of your novels.

Jason Pargin Here's a nice thread with links to some great Youtube horror shorts (which in many cases are parts of channels you can then explore):

These Japanese faux documentaries are also great/creepy:

As far as authors, Brian Evenson is a great one to check out:

Thanks for the kind words!

Seb asked Jason Pargin:

Hey Jason! I recently read What the Hell Did I Just Read? and was impressed by your afterword. The message you give is essential and the tone is perfect 🙇 I'm wondering now if you decided to reveal your real name on your book covers in order to detach David Wong from reality some more and confine him to fiction only, or is it simply coincidental?

Erica Ellis

Erica Ellis asked Jason Pargin:

I feel as though you, like me, have had rabbits and dogs but no cats. Is this accurate? But mostly, thank you sincerely for the character of Amy. She resonates so hard with me. I saw the same whale documentary where the orcas don't even eat the calf that they kill, and I couldn't sleep after it. It was horrible. Anyway, I made my pastor read JDATE and she also fell in love with Amy.

Jérôme

Jérôme asked Jason Pargin:

Hey Jason! I wanted to know what the inspiration was for the Soy Sauce. Have you ever experimented with recreational psychedelic drugs like LSD, DMT or psilocybin or was this just an idea that popped up in your head and made for a good book plot? Love the JDatE series, they turned into some of my all time favourite books. Take good care of yourself
