Fresh Fiction: Isabel Booth on Every Parent's Worst Nightmare
In this 20-questions style feature for Fresh Fiction, Isabel Booth traces Then He Was Gone back to a writing-class exercise about a family hike that, years later, became the seed of Henry's disappearance, and explains how she landed on the novel's multi-perspective structure. She also describes each of her characters in three words, an unexpected internet conspiracy theory she stumbled on while researching, her writing space, her reading habits, and a hint at her next project: a darker, creepier follow-up thriller.
