The Book of the Beast: The Orphan, The Captive, and The Beast
()
About this ebook
The adventures of a shapeshifting beast living amongst humanity are chronicled in this acclaimed science fiction trilogy.
The Orphan
No one, not even the beast itself, knows where it comes from or what it is. Witnesses’ descriptions vary. A big dog, a wolf, a lynx. A cross between a gorilla and a bear. Powerful jaws like a shark. A fiend out of hell . . .
After a startling encounter in a Michigan barn, the beast transforms into a five-year-old boy named Robert Lee Burney and is adopted by a farmer and his wife. He begins learning about human society and lives peacefully among them until an attack on the farm forces him to flee . . .
The Captive
The shapeshifting beast’s new human form is a handsome young man named Barry Golden. He finds love, but it leads him down a dangerous path resulting in imprisonment in a seedy sideshow with little hope of escape . . .
The Beast
Barry has settled into a new life in New Mexico with a family and a job as a reporter. But that could all change when the beast discovers he’s not the only one of his kind on Earth. He must find a mate and prepare for something called The Leap . . .
Meanwhile, another shapeshifter on the other side of the country saves a dying man from cancer. He wants to marry her, but she feels a call from the Other, someone waiting for her . . .
A terrific read for fans of Ray Bradbury, Clifford Simak, and Theodore Sturgeon.
Praise for Robert Stallman
“Stallman reminds me of Ray Bradbury . . . A big talent.” —Peter Straub, author of Ghost Story
“A vision of the perilous coming-together of a man-soul and monster-soul in us all. The result is an exciting blend of love and violence, of sensitivity and savagery.” —Fritz Leiber, author of Swords and Deviltry
“The Orphan is frank, violent, and at times erotic in jarring, unexpected ways. The bottom line? Highly recommended.” —Black Gate
