Paranormally - Season 2 Episode 3 *SPECIAL* Building Worlds from Grief and Shadow with Author Gabrielle Wanek

Today, we’re joined by a storyteller whose worlds feel ancient, haunted, and alive. Gabrielle is the author of Songs of Ash and Dawn, a dark fantasy woven with global folklore, disappearing witches, forgotten magic, and the kind of atmospheric world-building that stays with you long after you close the book. Her writing blends grief and mythology, shadow and beauty — pulling inspiration from Norse gods, Korean spirits, Slavic monsters, and the universal human experiences of loss, legacy, and finding light in the dark. Gabrielle has a gift for building universes that feel both otherworldly and deeply emotional. Her characters carry magic, trauma, and hope in equal measure, and her storytelling invites readers to explore big themes like ancestral memory, supernatural forces, and the mysteries that live just beyond the veil. I’m so excited to dive into her creative mind today and explore the lore, the darkness, and the magic behind Songs of Ash and Dawn.
