Review: THE CARRION SEA by Steven McCumaskey


5 Speculative Stars!

Beautifully lyrical in execution,  this Oriental-setting, medieval-style fantasy strums all the themes of Man against Nature, Man against Monster,  and Man against Himself. In a small village of fishermen and hunters, an anomalous Winter refuses to end. Fishing is poor, animals are scarce, elderly and newborns can't survive.  Is this a freak weather event--or something more?

The answer is the proverbial lone brave warrior,  a man formerly of battle and now of peace, the one who will sacrifice all to save his village.
