WESLEY CHAPEL, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, August 22, 2023\/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Avoiding the usual expectations of Fantasy by way of satire, humor, and a race of nefarious evil cats, the first in Jonathan Pruitt\u2019s The Shadows of the Monolith series, \u201cThe Amber Menhir\u201d arrives this October from Spinner Loom Press.<\/p>\n

Having earned the title of the world\u2019s most infamous spider biologist, Pruitt has penned a grimdark fantasy lampooning the academic and scientific communities, while also offering an immersive, diverse, and fast-paced story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can be far more honest in fiction than I could have ever contemplated in nonfiction,\u201d Pruitt says. <\/p>\n

What exactly is a Menhir? \u201cFound across the globe, Menhirs are mysterious, ancient, imposing monoliths that prove evidence of a civilization\u2019s existence. They\u2019re often the subject of superstition, just like the magical institutions that make up this world. Whether they stand as pinnacles of grandeur and discovery, or blemishes of political pestilence will be up to the reader,\u201d explains Pruitt.<\/p>\n

Readers visit a modern-day, grimdark fairy tale where reality bends and twists, with plenty of humor and profound insights. In writing, \u201cThe Amber Menhir\u201d, Pruitt drew upon his many life experiences\u2014from traversing the rugged landscapes of South Africa and Namibia, to savoring the enchantment of Australia and Canada.<\/p>\n

Jonathan N. Pruitt’s metamorphosis from a prodigious scientific mind into a fantasy author is a testament to reinvention as he proves in \u201cThe Amber Menhir\u2014The Shadows of the Monolith: Book One,\u201d available now as an advance reading copy on NetGalley<\/a> and for pre-order on Amazon<\/a>. <\/p>\n

ISBN Hardback: 979-8988661108

\nPrice: $18.99 <\/p>\n
