My Superpower: Erik Williams (Demon)
My Superpower is a regular guest column on the Skiffy and Fanty blog where authors and creators tell us about one weird skill, neat trick, highly specialized cybernetic upgrade, or other superpower they have, and how it helped (or hindered!) their creative process as they built their project. Today we welcome Erik Williams to talk about how the power of verisimilitude relates to Demon. —————————————— My superpower? Where do I begin? I have so many, you see… Chief among them is BS. Outside of my ability to BS, I’d say my most important superpower in writing my book was verisimilitude. You see, I wrote this novel Demon. It’s about a CIA assassin who finds himself hunting down a real, true blue demon in war-torn Iraq. A demon that pretty much causes anyone within a few feet of it to go crazy and kill each other. It doesn’t even do it on purpose. It’s his presence, by Jove!
