About this listen

WINNER: 2023 Best Book Awards

After a failed petition to change his career, Bill, the local pottery maker and town drunk, is coerced by his neighbors and king to join an expedition to hunt down and slay a mighty dragon that plagues their village.

In this dark comedy novelette from 13 Acorns- Modern Short Stories for Thoughtful Adults, will Bill try to evade his duty and hide in his cave? Will he be thrown into a pit full of spiders for refusing to fight? If he bravely agrees to go, will his neighbors finally remember his name?

Find out if old Bill will muster the courage to fight and miraculously and unexpectedly overcome the great beast (despite being half drunk with a rusty sword), or if he will die trying!

Genre: Comedy, dark comedy, satire.

Size: 14,000 words.

Parent work: 13 Acorns- Modern Short Stories for Thoughtful Adults.

I enjoyed the story overall. It was humorous and strange. The characters were all kinda one note, but it added to the cartoony feel. I couldn't help but picture the main character (I can't remember his name) as Elmer Fudd with a bit of a drinking problem.

Feels like a classic Looney Toons story

I'm not great at reviews for books. but to sum it up if you like things like dragons and tabletop RPGs. this story will make you chuckle smile and that warm fuzzy compassionate feeling you get inside for nerdy things.
absolutely recommended!
