Episode 42: Midweek Special - Grimdark: What, Why, and When Is It Too Much?

Zach and Jim get together with guests Charles and Dylan of the Friends Talking Fantasy Podcast to dive into the Grimdark fantasy subgenre, exploring what it is all about, why you ought to consider giving it a try, and debating whether authors may push the limits of literature too far in writing this particular type of fantasy fiction. Our guests were wonderful, and we think you'll get a lot of both information and entertainment from this episode.Check our our wonderful guests on their own podcast.
