The Street King (A Silver City Tale)
R. K. Lewis
The Street King is a humorous short
story, set in a fictionalised version of Aberdeen (a city in Scotland, UK),
which combines elements of fantasy, Arthurian legend, satire, surrealism and
general good-natured tomfoolery.
Arthur - Arty to his friends - is a
man of the street. It's his home; it's his companion; it's his source of
sustenance; it's his supplier of cheap strong lager. Unfortunately, the
citizens of Aberdeen generally find him a bit of a nuisance, getting under
their feet and in their way when they're trying to go about their ordinary
lives.
But Arthur is a man with a rare gift.
He has the ability to see things that few others can even dare to imagine. And
when he's ordered to undertake a quest to save mankind from the evil engulfing
the city, nay the world, he is brave enough to take up the challenge and embark
upon an adventure that takes him right into the heart of darkness where demons,
ghouls and dragons await.
Author warning: Suitable for all ages (if you don't
mind the odd rude word), but readers are strongly advised to try
the sample before buying. Some of the language used is colloquial Scottish and
although a glossary of some phrases has been provided, some readers may find
the text difficult.
Well, I think it looks deliciously different, and I like different! And with 21 reviews across the US and UK and always priced 'less than a latte', I say READ UP! Who likes same-old, same-old anyway? :)
