Interview with K.V. Johansen, by Paul Weimer

Cover of The Wolf and the Wild King by K.V. Johansen, featuring a black/gray wolf sniffing at the base of a tree, against which a sword leans; the ground is snowy, and there are bushes in the background, and the sky is lit with aurora colors.

“Now, with The Wolf and the Wild King, I’ve done something I’m calling high fantasy, an older term not used so much any more, but to me it suggests a subtly different flavour of secondary world fantasy from epic — a world more mysterious, less explained; more folkloric roots showing through the moss, more things half-seen in the shadows. “
