In this episode I am joined by Ukranian author Anton Zvolinskyi to talk about his new book, the dark fantasy Blades of Demon.

In this book, Anton opens up about the reality of the Ukrainian war and how the deep themes that he explores in his book helped him deal with such traumatic events, the loss of home and the bittersweet taste of making peace with what is lost and having the courage to look forward to the future.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Reaper Man, one of the most powerful and philosophical novels in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld.

👉 In this episode we discuss:

• Why Reaper Man is a key novel in the Death subseries.

• Death’s journey as Bill Door and its emotional impact.

• Themes of life, endings, and empathy beneath the comedy.

• How Reaper Man balances humour with profound human insight.
