Peter Fehervari Talks 40k and the Dark Coil – Part One

While not one of the best-known Black Library authors, Peter Fehervari has been quietly building a reputation for complex, dark and brilliantly-constructed stories for some years now. With two novels to his name so far – Fire Caste and Cult of the Spiral Dawn – as well as a novella and a range of short stories, all of which are connected in some way to one another, Fehervari is a unique voice within the Black Library. [Note: since publishing, Peter’s third novel – Requiem Infernal – has been released…and it’s fantastic! Check out my review here.]

Here on Track of Words I’ve been a fan of Peter’s writing for a long time, and recently I’ve been catching up on writing reviews of as many of his stories as I can. I’m delighted that Peter has agreed to an interview about his work, in which we discuss a wide range of topics all revolving around the intricate, interconnected worlds he’s gradually unveiling. As usual I wanted to cover lots of different topics, so the questions range from his early influences that informed his strong, uncompromising style, to joined-up storytelling carrying similar themes across multiple stories, and lots more.
