Reviews

In this epic tale of good versus evil, Nick Narigon explores complex lands steeped in storytelling. Every realm of Montuga: The Spheres of Trivandré is a nesting doll of folklore, both ancient and modern, that ultimately forms the legend of America itself. As one character in the novel says, ""my journalistic instincts told me there was a story buried here somewhere."" So, while shifting between alternative worlds-as well as histories that repeat themselves like cautionary tales-Narigon becomes part mythmaker and part reporter, chronicling fables which are funny and insightful, hallucinatory and haunting, but also absolutely magical from beginning to end. -Marc Dickinson, author of Replacement Parts Fans of shapeshifters, Aztec mythology, and characters with a fondness for mind-altering substances-Montuga: The Spheres of Trivandré is for you. Crafted from the bones of the American Southwest, Nick Narigon spins a tale filled with ghosts and violence so atmospheric you can feel the wind-driven sand against your skin in this supernatural battle against evil for the future of humanity. -Melinda Wichmann, author of How to Live with a Ghost
