Tasakeru, Book III: Soulsnatcher

BHS (Brian Hamilton Stanley)

In the third book of Tasakeru, a sadistic monster born from the broken body of an Outcast wolf goes on a horrific rampage through Sankami.

 

The third book of Tasakeru, by Brian Stanley. Not all of those exiled to Tasakeru are heroic or misunderstood... a few become Outcasts for very good reason. Such a sentient arrives one summer night, intent on nothing but satisfying his twisted desires. When he is caught in the act and dealt a mortal blow, the young wolf undergoes a terrifying transformation into something not quite alive and not quite dead. Taking on a new name and a mission of vengeance, the creature called "the Soulsnatcher" carves a swath of destruction and violence through Sankami, in search of blood and souls. The other Outcasts must band together to stop this seemingly indestructible foe, with assistance from both the militant church of the Silver Order, and from the most mysterious Outcast of them all: the ancient white wolf known as Drake Who Walks Alone.

The thing that impressed me most about Tasakeru, Book III: Soulsnatcher is that author Brian Hamilton Stanley has created such a tightly woven world. It’s obvious that an entire atlas and ecosystem exists for this series and that the author has carefully created a homogeneous world. It’s what Tolkien did and what great epic fiction does. Stanley is a professional writer, a fine storyteller, and these books are ready to be published right now. I have little doubt that they will find much success.

Okay---I'm ready for more. Don't wait too long to submit Book 4!

Oh my gosh! I wasn't going to comment until I had finished Book 3, but this chapter's events and the description of the soul-stealing scene are so outstanding (and creepy) that I couldn't help myself. Where in the world do you get your ideas?????
