The World-Maker Parable by Luke Tarzian — Beautiful, Baffling, Brilliant

What happens when a fantasy author decides not to hold your hand—but instead throws you straight into the deep end of his imagination? That’s what you’ll find in The World-Maker Parable by Luke Tarzian, a dark, lyrical, and mind-bending novella that blurs the line between creation and madness.


In this solo episode, Jim from Fantasy for the Ages shares his spoiler-lite review, exploring why this short book demands your full attention and rewards it with haunting beauty and depth. From unreliable narrators to genre-blending worldbuilding, The World-Maker Parable is a story unlike any other.


Jim also shares how this book came to his attention—thanks to Derek from D&J’s Epic Quest—and why, despite a challenging audio experience, he’s eager for more from Tarzian’s fascinating universe.


If you love fantasy that dares you to understand it, this episode’s for you.
