The mysterious Lemony Snicket—he of A Series of Unfortunate Events fame—is back! After a brief hiatus from enchanting smart young readers, Snicket has emerged with a brand new book: Who Could That Be At This Hour?—the first in the All the Wrong Questions series. To herald his return, we asked the reclusive author—through intermediaries of course—to send us ‘3 Thing You Don’t Know’ about him. The results will surprise and perhaps frighten you. Or at least they should…

Three Things You Don’t Know About Me:

1. Where I am.

2. Why I’m hiding there.

3. That the next time you bolt upright in bed, your pulse racing and your eyes blinking madly, and you wonder to yourself, “What in the world could that noise have been?” there’s no need to get up and check.  I will have checked for you and it’s nothing with which you need to concern yourself.

NOOK owners: go to shop and search for “Lemony Snicket” to download his always-entertaining books, new and old.
