With The Cloven (paperback, Kindle), writer B. Catling is concluding the trilogy he began with 2015’s The Vorrh and continued with last year’s The Erstwhile. Though in conducting the following email interview with him, he notes that while Alan Moore [Watchman, Jerusalem] declared the first book to be “Easily the current century’s first landmark work of fantasy,” that’s not the genre Catling would use to describe this saga.

Exclusive Interview: The Erstwhile Author B Catling
