In his new sci-fi horror thriller The Razor (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook), writer J. Barton Mitchell drops us off at the titular space prison, and then abandons the place, leaving us — as main character Marcus Flynn — to figure out what’s going on and how we can escape. But in the following email interview, Mitchell explains that while The Razor may be a prison in space, it wasn’t based on any space prisons we’ve ever been to.
