Hi. Thank you for this article. I'm 61 and only realised I was aphantasic last year. Reading this I understand how my love of certain books is linked to my aphantasia. I read mainly fantasy and sci-fi.  I've often scanned over excess description as I cannot see it in my minds eye. I presumed because it was fantastical everyone else did too. Seeing The Lord of the Rings was literally an eye opener!  Thank you....and I'll definitely check out your book too.
