Olivie Blake

    27. August 1988

    Olivie Blake ist eine Liebhaberin und Schriftstellerin von Geschichten, von denen viele das Fantastische, Paranormale oder Übernatürliche beinhalten, aber nicht immer. Häufiger drehen sich ihre Werke darum, was es bedeutet, menschlich zu sein (oder nicht), und um die endlos interessanten Komplexitäten von Leben und Liebe. Blake widmet sich in ihrer Arbeit tiefgründigen Fragen der Existenz und zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen mit einem Gespür für Nuancen und psychologische Tiefe. Ihr einzigartiger Stil verbindet übernatürliche Elemente mit einem eindringlichen Blick auf die menschliche Seele und schafft Werke, die zum Nachdenken anregen.
