“Unearthing Shadows: Kim Liao Reveals the Haunting Secrets Behind ‘Where Every Ghost Has a Name'”
SR: I can see that the book includes an extensive reference section, but I’m curious: were there particular nonfiction writers and/or books that you looked to for inspiration while writing and/or revising?

First, Tracy Kidder — my favorite of his is Mountains Beyond Mountains, but all of his books are phenomenal, and he really takes the research and uses it to privilege story and character development.
