In which a vacation trip to Denmark turns into an encounter with gods older than recorded history for Brigadier Ffellowes in our latest sampling of "tall tales told in taverns."
Story rating: PG for monstrous gods and death by terror.
This story is from The Peculiar Exploits of Brigadier Ffellowes by Sterling Lanier. It is under copyright. This story is shared under the Fair Use Act as a sample of the stories in the collection. Views to the contrary, please contact me (my email is in the sidebar).
Story rating: PG for scanty clothing, monstrous gods, rampant adventure, and an almost complete lack of sensitivity or multiculturalism.
Caveat emptor (buyer beware): I'm reading this story uncensored. As with many tales from the "golden age" of adventure literature, it is impossible to avoid insensitivity. Political correctness wasn't in existence in 1894, at least in the way we think of it. Our takeaway message: aren't we glad that was then and this is now?
