Lumberjack

By Anthony Engebretson
Lumberjack by Anthony Engebretson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Nebraska city, 1901.

 

There's a curse on Arbor Lodge—an elusive demon reclaiming the illustrious home in the name of the prairie—and its owner, 

J. Sterling Morton, proud statesman, is desperate. 

 

It couldn't be more fortuitous for lumberjack Neville, whose greatest desire is to prove himself a true man to the world. 

Morton offers respect, security, pride, even the father figure Neville never had; and all the lumberjack has to do is find and kill this creature.

 

There's no doubt in Neville's mind that he deserves to rise to the status of legend. He will prevail. It's in his blood.

 

Or else, his blood will be in the prairie.

“3.5 stars. Well, it's written from a man's POV — and he's that kind of man, if you know what I mean — but he gets what he deserves, so that made it worthwhile. Loved the prairie-coming-to-life-and-exacting-revenge vibes, need more of that in real life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“When historical fiction can make me forget that I’m reading historical fiction - that’s a huge plus for me. Lumberjack is a fun romp through the mind of Neville Gibbons, estranged son and presidential hopeful (lol.) When Neville is bailed out of jail by a wealthy benefactor, he doesn’t know what to expect. Certainly not be hired by the man to destroy the very thing he was already chasing. This novella was Weird and I absolutely adored it. Check this out if you like horror, crumbling psyches, weird creatures, and questioning your own sanity!”
“Excellent. Wonderfully written with an immersive style. Weird Eco Horror featuring a descent into madness and hits on Manifest Destiny, familial woes, and toxic masculinity. This is a brilliant piece of fiction that reads quick and is completely engrossing. Highly recommend.”
