  9. craft (music): Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma → Adam Duritz. Jane chose Long December over Night Swimming for the scene and then texted Counting Crows' Adam Duritz about it.

industry (3)

  2. industry (industry): Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma → Horror Movie (Paul Tremblay novel). Tremblay's novel has executive meetings uncannily close to Miasma's, though the two are independent.
