I found those videos during a similar rabbit-hole. He is a very entertaining speaker. I like the effort he made to map quite a few stories onto the same structure and his discussion of the power of sub-plots with simultaneous crescendos.
I read his "I Am Not a Serial Killer" trilogy and didn't know he was more popular in Europe before hitting America. He does write well and I only have bones to pick with some plot details. Books 1 and 2 would have been much better, to me, with no supernatural content. But book 3 requires it. The way he gets us inside the head of a sociopath protagonist was wonderful. I'm sure his wife must think he's creepy for being able to come up with that, lol. I liked in the videos how he mentioned he wrote the first book as a stand-alone but the publisher convinced him to write the trilogy. "Here, take my money."
