Welcome travelers to another stop through the Otherworld.\u00a0 We’ve got a brief, fun-sized story for you today that is going to be a hit with folks who love anthropomorphized heroes in their story, as this one focuses on lizardfolk and what they must endure.\u00a0 Read on to learn more about Bone Whittler<\/em>, and his first big adventure.<\/p>\n

In Kenneth Archie Landers Junior’s debut short story, he whets his storytelling appetite on both style and substance.\u00a0 The lizard men of Bone Whittler<\/em> are a bit primitive, and Landers manages to capture this very well in his writing.\u00a0 Though the writing is contemporary, the story feels intentionally archaic, expressed in interesting and creative ways.\u00a0 Though he paints the picture of his characters as hulking lizard people, you can almost see them as intelligent Neanderthals.\u00a0 Showing their wit and their wile especially is the titular Bone Whittler, a craftsman who others are cautious around, because he certainly casts a large shadow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Venture into the swamps of the lizard men, where society is driven by strength and ferocity.\u00a0 But when a foul air affronts the lizard people, and a mine is at risk of collapse due to a mighty earthquake, the tribe knows that certain things are changing, and not for the better.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is the start of Bone Whittler’s journey from a part giant lizard man craftsman to the only hope his people have.<\/em><\/p>\n

While the titular lizardman’s quest is abbreviated into eight bite-sized chapters, it’s still a wonderfully entertaining read, and a great introduction to Landers’s work.\u00a0 An attempt at a longer, richer story could be interesting coming from the author, but if readers are looking for pulp fantasy that points a spear toward the horizon and marches straight for it, they would do well to dive into his debut.\u00a0 Check out Bone Whittler: Book One: Origins<\/em> on Amazon<\/a> today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
