Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

One of the pleasures of editing Sci-Fi Bulletin is the chance to catch up with creators regularly, and it’s time for our chat with Charlie Parker creator John Connolly…

It was a chance to do something different again, after The Sisters Strange which is completely different. Sisters Strange ratchets up all that stuff as far as it can go but that was again, the purpose at the time: for people who like my books, you were getting it up to eleven. You got the weird villain, you got the supernatural undertones, all of those things, you’ve got first person narration…

That was something I hadn’t intended to do, to return to Parker’s voice but when I was doing Sisters Strange I thought, ‘Well, what would people want? Well, they’d probably want to hear his voice again.’ And so I’m now back in a situation where I can’t really go back to the third person again. The books have to stay in the first person because of that decision.
