Scottish Fantasy and Folklore with Rafael Torrubia and M K Hardy

Join Rafael Torrubia and M K Hardy for an hour of chat about gothic and apocalyptic historical Scottish Fantasy.

Both Rafael’s The Shipwright and the Shroudweaver, and M K Hardy’s Needfire take us into mystical and complex worlds, based on deep knowledge of myth and folklore – excellent midwinter reads!

THE SHIPWRIGHT AND THE SHROUDWEAVER introduces a trail-blazing new voice in Scottish fantasy, fusing the Celtic folklore of J.R.R. Tolkien with the climate geopolitics of N.K. Jemisin in an epic adventure of ancient gods, apocalyptic magic, and love that can survive the end of the world

THE NEEDFIRE is an adult speculative gothic novel that combines the historical flavour and sapphic yearning of Sarah Waters with the creeping dread of MEXICAN GOTHIC. Written from a uniquely Scottish perspective, it explores the aftermath of the Highland Clearances, giving a voice to those exploited and overlooked in this tumultuous period of history – including the land itself.
