And so what inspired you? What was the reason behind Tick? So giant flying ticks, they're scary ticks, right? What was the inspiration to use them as you did?

Sure.

So, well, I love, I'm a huge fan of like the old sci-fi horror movies, the drive-in classics of like the 50s and 60s, like them.

or Black Scorpion or Earth vs. the Spider, those sorts of things.

So I very much wanted to do an homage to those sorts of movies.

And I had just started reading pulp horror and had fallen in love with an author named Guyon Smith who wrote a bunch of pulp stuff.

He's most known for his classic book, Night of the Crabs, about giant killer crabs rampaging through the Welsh countryside.

Do you find a difference? between working on films and writing a book, or do you find they're very similar?
