Hello, Tartlets and Darksiders! I’m thrilled to share with you that Kait and I interviewed award-winning author Cynthia Pelayo on Dark Side of the Word.
You may remember Cynthia from my book review of her novel, Forgotten Sisters, on the blog last year. This time, Kait and I read her newest release, Vanishing Daughters, a haunting and contemporary interpretation of Sleeping Beauty that blends together supernatural elements, elements of grief and loss, and plenty of true crime.
In this episode, Cynthia discusses her journey in horror literature, the emergence of grief horror, and her unique writing techniques. Then we delve into the complexities of writing about grief, the dual perspectives in Vanishing Daughters, and the challenges of navigating the publishing world.
Cynthia also shares her insights on manifesting, positive psychology, and the importance of self-acceptance in the creative process. The conversation touches on her upcoming works and her passion for dark fairy tale retellings.
