Subscribe to Deadmedia and get a free fantasy short story! Stone Grown is set in the greater world of my latest novel Seeker of the Lost Song and its sequel-in-progress. You can read more about the writing process – and the song that inspired it – here.
Some of Stone Grown’s historical & folklore inspirations:
- Turku Castle in the medieval period, under Swedish rule. Specifically:
- The labyrinth carved into the wall in the Ladies’ Parlour to trap evil spirits
- The Scriptorium
- Tuonela, the Finnish land of the dead, and its associated characters
- Pre-colonial Filipino death rituals
