I’m not saying anything new here, but in the beginning it was pretty insane, and it definitely caused us all to pivot. JACKSON: I’m actually doing much better than I was. SCOTT NEUMYER: It’s been a really rough year and a half for everybody. Shondaland caught up with the author via Zoom to discuss her new book, going back to her horror roots, the influence of Jordan Peele, how YA has finally grown up, Tik Tok, and so much more. ![]() ![]() Jackson’s love of the genre is all over these pages and turns what, in lesser hands, might have been just another ghost story into a transcendent, genre-defining masterpiece that will have readers of all ages hiding under the covers. ![]() White Smoke is clearly written by someone who has horror in her blood. ![]() Not only is it beautifully written and filled with much of the social commentary that Jackson has become known for in her previous books, like Allegedly and Grown, but it is absolutely chilling at times.
