Ravenous Cavernous is a quirky fantasy-comedy short story which tackles - in a lighthearted and slightly bonkers way - the things we fear and why we fear them; and the tinkering with of traditional tales by creatures that should probably sometimes just leave things be.
While being pursued by the Gregaritons - a horde of body-part-swapping beasts who are currently sharing one eye, and on the hunt for more nostrils - Poilu-Flux inadvertently runs straight into the phenomenal arms of something that is only spoken of in cautionary tales.
"It simply didn’t do to have nostrils, only to go and fill them with foul things, he thought."
"The Gregaritons first paid Ethelberry Hy a visit and were directed toward the Ashanta village local shops where Poilu-Flux worked on days with a Z in the name serving kindles in small papyrus bags to small-lings. On this particular day, which was a Dim Day, he was at home, so he knew nothing of the Gregaritons visit ..."
"... in terms of deadliness ... it wasn’t even as bad as the MoiShoi, which was known for having a particularly venomous wink."
Praise for Ravenous Cavernous:
"I love the way you have made up new words, and the dialogue between the Gregaritons. Very funny."
"This could be great for young people and adults too. Much like the appeal of Roald Dahl's stories, it has the ability to cross genres and delight a range of people."
