In a current interview at SF Signal, Reed talks about her most recent novel, The Night Children: “I had this idea that wanted me to run with it: feral children living by night in the world’s absolutely biggest mall.

The kids are strays, lost children and runaways who band together in gangs that hide by day and play by night in gazillion sectors of this huge, forever growing mall. Of course they have an enemy, the diabolical mall designer who is veeery weird and lives in the center like a black widow spider dominating the web. And of course he has evil designs…”
