LM: The idea of the Boneless Mercies, a travelling band of mercy killers is something I’d never come across before in fiction. I tried to weave all these elements into The Boneless Mercies. It has everything a great story needs, a hero, a monster, glory, tragedy, poetry. Stories have power, and this story has been around longer than most. Beowulf-I’ve always admired this epic tale.
