In this interview, John Scalzi and I discuss Starter Villain, infusing humor into his stories, including talking animals in this book, building on the tropes already existing in certain genres, the importance of book titles, his research, how his role as a film critic influenced Starter Villain, and much more.
John's recommended reads are:
The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal
Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree
The Daughter of Dr. Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
