Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files continued (books 13-16) | Worlds Of Speculative Fiction lecture 104

Enroll in the FREE online class, Worlds of Speculative Fiction - https://reasonio.teachable.com/p/worl... We are continuing the Worlds of Speculative Fiction lecture/discussion series in an online monthly format. Each session will have a roughly 90-120-minute-long video (this one is longer, though!), which will be premiered (allowing chat interaction between viewers and myself). Then immediately following that, we will have a Zoom videoconferencing session, where we'll continue the discussion. This session focuses on the fantasy/supernatural author Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files series of novels, a series we examined earlier, focusing then on books 1-4, then books 5-8, and books 9-12. We are now examining books 13-16, which lead up to a massive cliffhanger. We discuss the worldbuilding, character development, and key philosophical themes developed within the series. The works that we draw upon and focus on in this session are: Ghost Story - https://amzn.to/3RaQspB Cold Days - https://amzn.to/4pdoG8p Skin Game - https://amzn.to/4pdoG8p Peace Talks - https://amzn.to/4h603Zh The intro and outro music for this video is "Juno In The space Maze" by Loopop, made available in the public domain by YouTube Audio Library Authors we have covered in the series so far are J.R..R.
