I don't read reviews if I know in advance they're negative, because I can't have my confidence undermined when I'm writing. Christopher Moore advanceconfidencenegative Change image and share on social
The fact that 'A Dirty Job' has comedy and supernatural horror in it, that both are woven in and out of it with a whimsical tone, despite the fact that it's about death, makes it hard to characterize with standard genre labels - but I have no problem with that. I'd call it a funny story about death, and leave it at that. Christopher Moore callcharacterizecomedy share on social

The only thing that matters to me about my stories is that they're entertaining and they're funny. And I tend to get bored easily, so I generally throw something supernatural in. I would say they're humorous novels that have a supernatural bent, but that's as close as you're going to get to fitting them all in the same basket. Christopher Moore basketbendbore share on social
You can't teach someone to be funny, but you can teach comic timing. If you listen to a good comic, you can learn how to put it on a page. Christopher Moore comicfunnygood Change image and share on social
You know, a vampire book is not a book to be the vehicle for big themes and stuff, where sometimes when you're dealing with art or the life of Christ or the oeuvre of Shakespeare, you know, it's a little more ambitious. Christopher Moore ambitiousartbig share on social
