Rebecca Barrow, Bad Things Happen Here
- My favourite film is what I believe to be the best noir-cartoon-comedy of all time, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
- I’m a water sign, like Luca in Bad Things Happen Here (she’s a cancer; I’m a scorpio.)
- I fell in love with Ava Gardner when I was fourteen (to do the same, watch her in The Killers (1946))
- Bad Things Happen Here is my first thriller, but not my first book—I’ve also published two contemporary novels, and a Riverdale horror spinoff, too.
- My dream is to adopt a bunch of old lady cats and give them a completely luxe life filled with indulgent snacks and a thousand soft surfaces for them to claim as their own.
- I started writing my first ever book when I was sixteen (and it was truly terrible, but it was a start!)
- Luca and I wear the same red lipstick: NARS Mysterious Red.
