Q: If someone wanted to make an animated series out of your work, based on the title or recurring themes, what would it look like?
A: When I hear the term ‘animated series’, I tend to think of bright colors and loud noises (Why does Cocomelon come to mind? Help). I’m not a huge fan of that kind of eye-watering intensity, so I’d hope that an animated series based on “The Nocturnals” would depict darker, more subdued colors and sounds—like if the style of Game of Thrones and the tone of The Queen’s Gambit had a baby, only in animation form.
