Dark Fantasy is tricky business. \u00a0You want to make sure that your work appeals to a large enough audience without scaring them off, and you have to be careful with\u00a0a lot of different elements to reach that perfect balance. \u00a0If just one of those sides of the scale tips too far, you risk making something sinister seem campy, or you make magic seem too whimsical.<\/p>\n

Julius Schenk is a new author from Australia who effectively disguises that distinction. \u00a0If you read his work, you’ll think that he’s been at this all his life. \u00a0Take the Body and Give Me the Rest<\/em> is the\u00a0first book in a three part fantasy that Schenk is delivering, and it comes with that aforementioned balance we spoke of. \u00a0With authentic characters and interesting scenarios that unfold, Take the Body<\/em> will most certainly appeal to fans of darker, grittier tales.<\/p>\n
