Ben Blattberg talks to us about the Godtree, a near-mythical giant plant in the collaboratively created world of Achten Tan. Why did he decide to write a story about it? What changed as he was writing? And what's up with the wooden monkeys?
Sounds from the Year Between is the podcast companion to Tales from the Year Between, an anthology of strange and wonderful fiction where each volume is set in a brand-new original world. This podcast is an opportunity for us to talk about those worlds - as well as the unique process of creating them - and to shine a light on the people who made it all possible.
Ben's story A Genealogy of Trees can be found in Achten Tan, volume one of TFYB. Visit yearbetween.com or skullgatemedia.com to learn more.
