Exclusive Interview: “Blind Devotion” Author Ty Drago

 

In the Systema Paradoxa series, various writers have told their own stories about “real life” cryptids, i.e. animals whose existence is unconfirmed by science. Y’know, Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, Mothman, etc.

But in Ty Drago’s new Systema Paradoxa novella Blind Devotion (paperback, Kindle), he instead tells the fictionalized story of a “real life” interaction people had with a cryptid.

In the following email interview, Drago talks about why he took this approach to this sci-fi novella, as well as what else influenced this story.
