Good short story!!! Never heard about this before. Story was well develope and entertaining. Would recomend!!! I enjoy it!!! A+
New look at an old story
A brief and interesting retelling of an old folktale, this is suitable for most readers. The ending, however, was left open to allow for a sequel.
A great short story re-telling! Very readable, highly enjoyable and well-written. An author to watch!
My first book read by Martyn Stanley but not my last.I almost never venture into the world of fantasy books and folklore but decided to step outside of my comfort zone and I'm super pleased that I did!
This is a 6000 word short story retelling of the Tale of the Lambton Worm. We are not talking your tiny little wiggly garden worm here, no - think monster size evil worm.
Penshaw Hill is not far from where I live and folklore says it was the residence of the evil worm. Martyn tells the story of how the worm came to terrify and destroy lives of the innocent and any brace man willing to take it on. To break it's evil curse.
The story is highly enjoyable and really well-written. I was fully engaged and I'm not supposed to like these type of books remember. I got lost in a time long ago with the writing and escaped from real life with pleasure. It's a great short story!
Martyn's writing is easy to digest and his characters realistic (well, for fantasy) and his descriptions of the worm was suitably entertaining. I'm now spurred on the read his full length fantasy novel (what!) so sometimes going outside the box opens up whole new worlds! Literally. I must go and visit the monument at Penshaw Hill but I'll be watching out for monster worms whilst there. 5 stars for a story that gave me everything I wanted as a reader.
I received a copy of this book from the author. My entire review is honest, my own opinions and totally unbiased.
Don't go fishing when you should be in church.
Monster worms? Yes, please! I love odd creatures. I wasn't even disappointed when I realized that the giant worm was actually a dragon. The Lambton Worm is an actual English legend, and this is Martyn Stanley's vivid interpretation. It begins with John Lambton as a boy. Instead of going to church with his father, the boy escapes to go fishing. But what he catches is not a fish. It is eel-like, smelly, and has two arms with claws. And many razor-sharp teeth. An old man observes the boy and his catch, warning him that no good would come from missing church. The boy laughs and puts his catch in his bucket. Upon reaching home, he realizes that his father will be angry, and would be angrier still if he brought his prize home. So he releases the little monster into the town well. Brilliant!
Years go by and John joins the Crusades.
