Sandkings
And today we will be discussing a 1997 Nebula Award-winning Novelette – Sandkings. Some of the short story authors we have been discussing are fairly obscure, and I am sure that no one has read or heard of this guy before. He wrote a few books that no ever read in a series called A Song of Ice and Fire. The first being A Game of Thrones. Bhahahahaha, Ok seriously. George Raymond Richard Martin is an American author of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. And Kelsey and I are not going to be discussing Daenerys, Cersei, and John Snow though since Kelsey has neither seen the HBO series or read the books. Kelsey, what do you have to say for yourself? 😉
There will be spoilers! You can find this short story for free on the internet. If you don’t want to have it spoiled, don’t listen until you’ve read it.
