Bookshop Interview with Author Zach Sabra (Episode #140)

In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Zach Sabra discusses his debut novel, Land of Demons: A New Age Dawns. It is the first installment in the Land of Demons series, a sweeping and gritty fantasy that starts as young adult but is intended to grow with readers in terms of its content, symbolism and violence. This first novel was twenty years in the making and is based on the fantasy world created by Zach and several of his friends when they were kids. Land of Demons is inspired by Zach’s love of movies, anime and video games, especially Lord of the Rings, Samurai Jack and the video game Spyro. Zach’s background is in game design, but he discovered early on that his favorite part of designing video games was creating the story, and he began to focus his attention on screenwriting and fiction writing. In this episode, I’ll chat with Zach about his writing journey, the people who inspired the various characters in Land of Demons, and the how, after 20 years, Land of Demons finally made its way onto bookshelves.
