    Dear Lars,
    It's a about a serial killer who is stalking the denizens of New York City's art world. The Washington Post called it one of the scariest books in contemporary fiction, though I thought it had more humor than horror. I'm not sure how well the humor will translate in German, but if you read it perhaps you can let me know.
    Thanks.

    Thanks, Mary. I appreciate the kind words. THE DEATH ARTIST feels like such a long time ago, but it's my first born and I'll always have special feelings for it. At the time I thought I was writing a satire, a mostly funny book, but only one review found it funny. Everyone else thought it was terrifying. Hmmm... what does that say about my sense of humor?

    Jonathan...forensic art might actually be an interesting sidebar for the book. I'm covering a lot of ground and having a lot of fun with it. Drop me a line at zombiecsu@yahoo.com

    Ooh death artist! will have to get that. hi just found your name on Megan Abbott's website link. very dramatic about the fire. could that have been a sign do you think? or am I just a superstitious nut?! all the best. by the way, I love noir, am writing a novel now.

    thank you, Jonathan. all the best. Destiny is funny sometimes--I hope mine is to get published (before I get any older)!

    I almost never read fiction when I'm writing. Only if I am looking for something specific. But I agree, it can throw you off.

    Jonathan, yes, I'm THE Steve Steinbock. But I'm not sure I qualify as a "THE." I enjoyed your promo video. Thanks (belated) for sending it. All is well. Hope to see you soon.
    Cheers,
    Steve
