Author Martin Reaves talks about the origin of his new novel A Fractured Conjuring. Have you ever read a novel and wondered, “What kind of a sick mind would imagine a story like that?”
Now imagine a novel in which the author asks that question about himself.
And then imagine that novel was about an author who discovered the answer to that question.
