Occultober Day 1: The Jungles of Ekanga by Gilbert M. Stack

Day 1—The Jungles of Ekanga by Gilbert M. Stack

Welcome to Occultober 2020—an exploration of the spookier side of literature: urban fantasy, paranormal adventures, and, of course, horror. To open the month, I offer one of my own novels which is out today, The Jungles of Ekanga. And since I can’t review my own work, I’ll just tell you a little about it.

 

Jungles is a prequel novel to Legionnaire, my 10,000+ sales military fantasy series—but it’s not a clone of those stories. Where Legionnaire focuses primarily on what would be considered conventional military threats in the fantasy genre, The Jungles of Ekanga takes an inexperienced Green Vigil Marcus Venandus and confronts him with a horrific and decidedly non-conventional danger deep in the untamed jungles of one of Aquila’s more recently conquered provinces. This is fantasy sliding into the horror genre as Marcus faces threats that he and the men under his command never dreamed were possible.

 

Jungles is packed with enemy shaman and warriors, treacherous senior officers, a mysterious murderer, and a mystery at the heart of it all that I hope will send shivers up and down your spine.
