Tentacles and Teeth

This TalkCast is a case study in what happens when one of our favorite writers asks to come on the show to talk about her newest stuff and you’re expecting really nice fantasy with inventive quirky universes and instead get a review copy for a post apocalyptic dystopia with poisonous monsters and icky gooey deaths. Ariel Sieling certainly shocked us all with a stunningly stark realization of a dark future in her newest project The Land of Szornyek: Tentacles and Teeth. This project is coming out on a “Chapter A Month” basis via Patreon and when completed will become a novel. We got a long look at this new world and the new direction her writing is taking from the days of Rutherford the Unicorn Sheep and The Sagittan Chronicles. The Land of Szornyek offers a new different exciting adventure, 40 years in the future.

Ariele Sieling

We also got the chance to talk about a short story she has in the upcoming Amphibian Press anthology, “Beamed Up“. Her story is “Stalk” a Sci Fi a retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk mythos.

Another project Airiele currently developing is a memoir of the relationship between her and her grandmother growing up in New Hampshire.

It is always interesting to watch as authors develop and redefine their voices and seek new platforms and genres to communicate. It was fun to explore with her.
