What do you think of Dark Fantasy and Horror?
Art Breach is a Dark Fantasy and Horror reader and author. He joins Jared and Chris to talk about the differences in Fantasy and Dark Fantasy and why some authors delve into the darker side of story telling.
He has written some of his own stories and is in the process of creating more. So why does he write and read this darker side? And what is it in these sub-genres that might tickle your fancy and entice you to delve into new, and sometimes uncomfortable, worlds?
We all have dark curiosities, and thoughts that tickle the back of our conscious that we may shudder at sharing with the rest of the world. So how and why do some authors bring those ideas to the forefront and build their worlds around them? Art has some insights into those questions and how he, on a fundamental level, is trying to share a part of himself the best way he knows how.
Listen today as Chris, Jared, and Art explore the Speculative Fiction Genres of Dark Fantasy and Horror and try to pierce the clouds of stigma that surround these stories.
