Thisisn't a fairytale. It's fire and blood. Ruin. Survival.

Whenthe mountain burned it did not simply devour a forest: it scorchedthe only sanctuaries of the now orphaned children Finn and Serah.

Sefira'sGloom is a dark fantasy novel that delves into the horrifyingexperiences and sufferings of Finn and Serah as their divergent pathsthrough enslavement, corruption, addiction, and avarice, force themto see a world they never imagined in their worst nightmares actuallyexisted, and discover a truth to what lies beneath the mountain thatwas once their home.

This is the premise of Alex Tilley’snewest novel, Sefira’s Gloom. Sefira’s Gloom came out on October10th. Here, we talk about Alex’s foray into fantasy,what dark fantasy is, how his beta-reading campaign went, and howAlex considers this his straightforward “marketing book”.

Alex has also read my anthology TheMoon Panther, and we discuss that a bit as well.

We have a mild spoiler section attimestamp ??
