King's Own by Colin Morton

| Nebula is pleased to present an excerpt from Colin Morton’s novel in progress, King's Own. The excerpt consists of the beginning of the novel seamlessly connected to a later section so that it stands alone as a unified piece. In this piece, Morton's mastery of voice and tone creates a kind of verbal daguerreotype -- or maybe an old, black and white snapshot such as one might find in the attic of a prairie farmhouse. | |
