Interview with the author

Q: So this is the second short story connected to The Darkness of the Womb. How is it different from "Clean Hands"?

A: "Clean Hands" was much earlier in the timeline of the Archetypes. The Archetypes actually don't even appear in this story (Though, I have a nixed chapter on my blog (http://knighttakesrook.blogspot.com/2015/09/deleted-preface-to-new-short-story.html) if you want to read it. This story contains the main protagonists of The Darkness of the Womb. It's a story about anxiety and it's more metaphysical than "Clean Hands". There's a lot of dream theory.

Q: Do you need to read The Darkness of the Womb to understand this story?

A: No. Like "Clean Hands", it's a standalone story. But it does help if you read both "Clean Hands" and The Darkness of the Womb to have a better understanding of these characters.

Q: Last question. Will there be any more short stories in the realm of The Darkness of the Womb?

A: Not that I can think of, but I'll never say never. I'll probably do a short story for my third novel, The Interdimensional Subwoofer before I do another one for The Darkness of the Womb.
