The Four Corners is an old realm. Some say it is older than it has any right to be.

To the east, fungus and vines come alive at night, drinking in the moon’s brightness. To the north, jagged mesas, wreathed in fog, shelter a people at war with the world. To the south, rotting forests give way to black sands and a sea that moves in a way unbefitting of water.
To the west…to the west hides the fabled and dreaded Mansions of the Dawn, where a door sits shut.

And in all directions, the Edge beckons. It beckons...

Meet Roan, a featured character from Travis Randall's () new book, Hounding: A Tale of the Heaving Sky:

The trees are old and the world is older. But her family predates them. Roan—a barefoot girl in black fabrics. There is a cunning in her gaze…or simply a darkness that pools there. She knows much that she shouldn’t and she will attempt things others dare not.

When she and her kingly father happen across a waterlogged and wounded young man, washed up from the river, their fates are upended. The choices made there, on that blood-soaked bank, will propel Roan into new heights of responsibility…and place her in direct opposition to the tyrannic, self-styled god of the world himself.

And there are things darker than herself, she will learn. Yes, there are things darker than she.

Hounding: A Tale of the Heaving Sky by Travis Randall () will have updates coming soon! In anticipation, we thought it'd be fun to ask the author to tell us a little about himself:

"Why did you begin writing?"
When I was a young boy, I read R.L. Stine’s Hide and Shriek. I remember sitting down in the morning and opening to the first page. Then I looked up and it was night. I’ve fallen in love with authors like Ramsey Campbell, Brian Evenson, and Cormac McCarthy since then—their ability to conjure with words—and it made me want to do what they do.

I started writing in high school, mostly love letters to those authors, to the stories which were foundations of my childhood and young adulthood.

By now, I have my own developing style. Hounding: A Tale of the Heaving Sky is a novel which I hope, for readers, summons the same feelings I experience when being swallowed by one the books on my shelf.

"What is your favorite book series?"
It’s hard to beat Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun. There’s a saying, that you can’t read a Gene Wolfe story, you can only reread one. I find that to be true. His ability to juggle ideas, to create puzzles within the text, remains unmatched. But the worlds and moods he evokes keeps me returning to his works. I consider the Book of the New Sun to be one of the greatest achievements in literature over the last one-hundred years.

"What characteristics do you think is important for a fantasy novel to have?"
There’s so many different styles out there. But I think real fantasy should come with a sense of longing. When you close the book, you should feel like you’ve been broadened, but also as though you’re missing some important part of yourself. Like the story completed a circuit for a time. When I was a kid, I would look up the stars and feel a bit sad—that’s the hole good fantasy should fill.

Introducing Greydal, protagonist of Travis Randall’s upcoming novel, HOUNDING: A TALE OF THE HEAVING SKY:

“Greydal called the suffocating, vine-dominated Harlow Valley his home. He spent his youth evading his peers and exploring the ancient delves found within the depths of wooded glades. That changed when his hermit father killed a man and then was found to have committed a worse crime: harboring accursed artifacts.

Now, with his father’s looming ex*****on, Greydal must contend with what it’s like to make it on his own. He better learn quickly, because others have taken notice of Greydal, and not just the diabolic ruler of his world. Something beyond reason has sniffed the boy out, and its goals are darker than can be believed.”



Painting is “St. Paul, Hermit” by Salvator Rosa (1615-1673) from The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
