Bloodwitch Luz Oscuria, Saleem Rustom
Literary at heart born in 1985, Bloodwitch Luz Oscuria has been playing with words since the age of 8. Jack-of-all-trades, she tries her hand at all styles, from comics to poetry, through plays, essays, short stories... And in the middle of all this, from the year 2000 until 2006, she wrote what remains to this day her most ambitious story. Named "Growing Antichrist", she will put it aside for eight long years, the time to live several real-life experiences, including that of becoming a mother. The first volume finally came out in 2014.
In 2013, she built the key character of her first novel, "Nuit sur Pandémonia", which forms the 1st part of the Vampire Divyns saga with its sequel, "Fiat Tenebra (Que les Ténèbres soient)" (2015), both since reunited in "Les Vampires Divyns" (2017). The Forgotten Memories saga was born in 2019 with "La Brume de l'oubli" and "L'Ombre du souvenir" published in August and December. Earlier that year, in April, she tried her hand at poetry with the collection "De Retour des Ténèbres" which contains poems written between 2002 and 2008. For 2020, she worked on a trilogy named " Le Novae Terrae", a most ambitious work which will have required a lot of research for this fantastic story on a real historical background.
Her site, which has been around since 2005, is called L'Antre de Bloodwitch. In addition to excerpts from her various books, she shares writings on the subjects that inspire her, from music to criminology, including mythologies and unsolved mysteries. L'Antre de Bloodwitch is the first showcase for discovering her pen.
