    Thoughts from the Labyrinth:
    Robert Greene’s books, especially “33 Strategies” are what I’d call “mental porn” for young men and targeted to those same just starting out life or new chapter. The so-called rules do not correlate to real life and if you attempt to utilize these rules in your world, you’ll find yourself terminated, sued civilly, or otherwise face a truckload of shit barreling down upon you. It’s best to treat Greene as fun campy stuff for history nerds and nothing deeper.
    Buyer BEWARE.
    Quote Source:
    Telegraph.co.uk October 29, 2022 “Why Robert Green isn’t who you think” – in reference to a
    person following his so-called rules and strategies “Anybody who did would be a horrible ugly
    person to be around.”

    ********************
    Questions Submitted by Listeners of “Knifepoint Horror” for Soren Narnia. 
    Questions Submitted by Mandey Brown 
    *********************
    *No TIME STAMPS this time kids. Got to stick around till the end!** 
    1. Is “cleanse” really about serial killers?
    2. Was the protagonist in “digs” caught in a time warp? Or maybe just the apartment complex?
    3. Was pretty much everyone in “drop-ins” dead?
    4. Do YOU think Winthrop did it?
    5. Were the prophetic marbles in “family” based on anything in particular? Or did you just make that up?
    6. Why are there so many laundromats everywhere? Did something happen to you in a laundromat? Sleep, cleanse, etc
    7. I’m assuming you’ve played the Thousand Steps game from “Tears of Sisyphus.” Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever ended up because of it?
    8. Is there any plan to reprint some of your books that are out of print? I know you offer PDFs of some, but HYPOTHETICALLY what about those of us who have a dedicated shelf full of physical Soren Narnia books that we’ve highlighted and dogeared and written notes in to death and we want to fill in all the holes? HYPOTHETICALLY
    Other Questions: 
    ******************
    9. What are you afraid of? Not existentially, I mean, are you scared of bugs, lightning, poorly cooked shellfish? 
    10. Also, what movies have scared you the most?
    11. How do you come up with your stories? It would be interesting to hear how your process goes, from how the initial idea sparks to how you further develop it into a story. Concrete examples would be great.
    12. Do you have an opinion on the perception that your stories have become less scary over time? Is this a deliberate choice or a natural, less conscious evolution as a writer? How much do you prioritize keeping the “horror” in “Knifepoint Horror?”
    13. Do you like the idea of film adaptations of the stories? I know there are a few film versions and that the stories are open licensed so the filmmakers don’t have to acquire rights from you, but have you ever been approached about participating in a [feature length] film adaptation of any of the stories or even an anthology type series of several of them?
    14. Do you prefer to voiceover your own work or the work of others?
    15. Do you do anything different when narrating your own work as opposed to when you narrate someone else’s writing?
    16. Are there any stories from Knifepoint and Snowy Nights that you had trouble choosing where to place?
    17 What is your favorite dinosaur? No, I’m not trying to be cute.
    18 What advice would you give to people wanting to write in a similar style to you and what techniques helped you develop your work best?
