hi mike! I love your work so dearly. OI'm currently writing my undergraduate thesis on the way time is treated in lake mungo and your version of hill house, and I'm having a grand ol' time! for some reason, I had a memory of you saying that Lake Mungo and Don't Look Now both served as inspiration for the Bent-Neck Lady, but I can't find that aaaaaanywhere. any thoughts on why I thought that?
It's certainly true, and I've said it in interviews and Q&A's over the years - not sure where you can find it in print, but both Lake Mungo and Don't Look Now are absolutely inspirations for the Bent-Neck Lady. Both deal beautifully with the idea of a protagonist being haunted by a premonition, and there are other great examples as well, including an episode of the original Twilight Zone series called "Spur of the Moment", which puts an interesting twist on the concept.

Am I really so bad? Am I really so frightening? You've talked to me. You've confided in me. Have I tried to hurt you? It isn't me you're afraid of. What you're afraid of is the unknown.

This was the last episode of the first season of The Twilight Zone and they never dared to do anything as fucking funny as this again.

Five well-to-do men are sealed into an experimental submersible. The entire system is controlled by obsolete video game hardware that has just gone offline. They have three days worth of oxygen. They were on their way to visit the site of one of humanity's greatest tragedies but now, with communication cut, they are about to enter... The Twilight Zone.

Fun exercise you can do with literally any piece of narrative media: Imagine the ominously insightful monologues Rod Serling would deliver at the beginning and end of it.

My house was haunted by Rod Serling, but he just narrated my day to day as if my life was a TZ episode.
