Welcome to BookView Interview, a conversation series where BookView talks to authors.
Recently, we talked to Tamel Wino about his writing and recently released book Visage of Moros, a chilling exploration of how grief distorts morality and turns justice into something far darker (read the review here).
Tamel Wino is a Canadian award-winning, dark fiction author from resplendent British Columbia whose works focus largely on the degeneration of sanity and morality. He majored in Health Sciences and Psychology, which only furthered his interest in human nature.
With inspirations including Ray Bradbury, Jack Ketchum, Cormac McCarthy, Stephen King, Margaret Atwood and Edgar Allan Poe; Tamel’s expositions are strongly grounded in traditions of dark fiction. Yet, with his bold narrative voice and incisive plot construction, Wino is paving a new movement within the space.
When he’s not reading or scribbling away on his laptop, Tamel enjoys indulging in wool-gathering, re-watching good old shows and travelling.
