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 ??

105. My Milkshake Brings All The Boys To The Yard w/ C. Starr (author of The Dairy)
Chandler Starr is new to the publishinggame, but not new to the author world. As Shawn Stinson, she is theorganizer behind Book Bazaar Canada, a book show organization whichwill be hosting the Peterborough Book Bazaar at the end of the month,and is also the cohost of the podcast Plot Twist, It’s Spicy. TheDairy is her first book, a milking-themed smut novella centred onbio-engineering where her female protagonist is transformed by theindustrial dairy she’s trying to investigate. Chandler and Idiscuss what it is like to write sex scenes, how she’s learning onthe job with regards to POV and tense, and we talk a little about herpodcast.
I don’t think we have any naughtywords in this one, but still safe to assume it’s not safe for work.
