How much of Iri, the world in The Shadow Glass film which features in your novel, was inspired by actual 80’s fantasy films? What did those films mean to you? They’re now creating their own stuff that’s inspired by Henson and all those films we loved in the 80s, and so the legacy continues. I think we’re in quite an exciting period at the moment, when the people making movies and TV shows and writing books are the same people who (like us) grew up with Jim Henson’s worlds. So The Shadow Glass really was fantastic for bringing those films back to life. Secondly, hell yes, we need more 80’s puppet style films being made! Jim Henson’s legacy needs to keep going. In fact I’m not sure if I forgive you for making me Feel Things! I really wish film-makers were still making puppet fantasies like they did in the 80s, so The Shadow Glass is basically me trying to keep the spirit of those films alive, while adding my own two cents to the lore.įirstly, I’m still not over The Feels, Josh.
Of course! The Shadow Glass is a fantasy adventure inspired by 80s films like Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal and The Never Ending Story, so readers should expect a ton of puppets, a splash of gore, and a big dollop of The Feels. Can you start off by telling us a little bit about it? What can readers expect? Wait, this blanket has teeth!Ĭongratulations on your upcoming release of The Shadow Glass. This blanket I just found should keep me warm. Yeah sorry about that, the Hive Castle gets a bit chilly, we really need a better hearth… Thank you, it’s great to be here!
