- What
inspired you to write this book?
Answer: We grew up on horror. Anything dark and creepy has been sowed into the
McCool DNA. For as long as we can remember, there was always something creepy
going on in our lives. Whether it was something unexplainable happening, or the
occasional ghost hunt, we were always involved in something dark and
mysterious.
- What can we
expect from you in the future?
Answer: So much! Two new McCool Mythos books are currently in development, as
well as stand alone novels from both of us. We are very dedicated to our
writing careers going forward.
- What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
Answer: Honestly, everything. Horror comes second nature to us, so writing in a
genre we absolutely love is such a joy.
- How did you come up with the title of the book?
Answer: We came up with the name as a good way to show this is a family
project. Everything we do create fits into the McCool Mythos in some kind of
way. It's loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft who's work is commonly known as the
"Cthulhu Mythos".
- Anything
specific you want to tell your readers?
Answer: First we would like to thank all of our readers for the immense support
that we have already received. We strive to bring you stories that will take
you on an adventure away from reality, even if momentarily. We understand that
with life's complexity that sometimes even the most passionate readers will
struggle to read novels due to lack of time or even energy. That is why we feel
that well-written short stories are so important, especially in today's world.
We hope that the McCool Mythos series will allow a spooky escape for any that
desire it.

John
R. McCool III
hails from a small town in the great state of Mississippi. He fell in
love with writing at a very young age, oftentimes writing stories
during class rather than paying attention. He now resides in
Danville, Illinois where most of his time is spent attending to the
day-to-day operations of a local coffee shop, which is like a second
home to him. When not writing or sipping coffee, John loves spending
time with his wife and kids who give him the inspiration to pursue
all of his dreams.
This sounds like a cool book.
