    • Trivia
      Two years after the untimely death of his first wife, Michelle McNamara, her nonfiction crime book "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller List (2018). The introduction and afterword were contributed by author Gillian Flynn and Oswalt respectively.
    • Quotes
      Based on my own experience, when you're going through adolescence you don't know how the world works. You can't set a story in the world you live in because you don't know what a utility bill is, or how to budget your paycheck. So you either set it in a zombie apocalypse, a wasteland or a spaceship. I think which one you choose decides the adult you become.
