Manawydan by LāErtes Muldrow is a terrific novel to read on All-Hallows Eve to give everyone shivers. His incredible narrative skills will certainly transport you to another dimension with this fantasy horror adventure. An ancient Egyptian prophecy foreshadows a series of events in Manawydan. Hatshepsut was a queen from ancient Egypt. This prophecy is one of a kind as it entails years of events and circumstances which continue to transpire even in the 21 St century.

LaErtes is most definitely no S.K., who is a 1 of a kind. However, LaErtes is without a doubt, "The King of Horra/Thrilla", and that also makes him a 1 of a kind. His first novel, "Evolve", was ok, as far as 1st books go. But, "Manawydan", now this book is a different journey all together and told in a much more matured style of storytelling - almost as if a different writer wrote it. Only after reading the 4 novella books in Evolve, and then reading Manawydan, could I tell the same person penned all 5 books.

From the reviews, I hoped for an engaging story. However, this is mediocre high-school level writing. Among other things, the narrative is stilted and choppy, there is no character development, and there has obviously been no editing.

I just love the new genre that LaErtes has created called Horra/Thrilla. His first book, Evolve - An Anthology of Horra/Thrilla, showed me there is a new Storyteller on the seen.

Manawydan kept me on the edge of my seat. Excitement in each chapter, I couldn't put this book down. The characters spoke to me as I read about them and their lives. I was able to clearly visualize what I was reading. During the storms at sea I saw images from the movies "Perfect Storm", and when the "Devil's Breath" appeared I saw, "The Fog". I could see this massive ancient ship on the open sea with its terrified passengers as the water rips across its decks and spills into the holds.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO READ OFTEN, AT LEAST FOUR BOOKS A MONTH. I LOVE A GOOD BOOK THAT I CAN PUT MYSELF INTO, WHERE I CAN ACTUALLY MEET AND KNOW EACH PERSON BEING WROTE ABOUT.

I must say that "Manawydan", by LaErtes is the most enjoyable read for me in quite a while. It is a clever blend of factual history, page turning drama, humor, and a soul wrenching recounting of the dreaded slave ship tales of horror, all uniquely crafted into a modern horror/science fiction genre-
Very chilling! This is a smartly developed novel and you owe it to yourself to enjoy "Manawydan" as soon as you can-

Man what a story! Fact, Fiction, then scary to boot. WOW!
LaErtes has a one of a kind approach to storytelling and his imagination is "Off The Hook.

I loved this book. This is the LaErtes's second published work. This man is someone to keep your eye on. His writing style is clean and to the point. Its exciting, thought provoking, fun, scary and at times heart warming. I highly recomend this book. It kicks butt. I also recomend his first book Evolve.

COVER - UP

THE MOVING WORDS REVIEW

“Cover-Up” is a journey through possibilities. Is it possible that genetically superior humans walk among us? Is it possible that humanity is changing? Is that even a decision that's in our hands? LaErtes Muldrow certainly believes so. The fantastical journey penned by the author begins with Donovan Mocion, aka "The Fastest Man Alive." In the blink of an eye, the beloved son and ultraathlete suffer a catastrophic 180-degree turn in life that thrusts him into the center of a years-long intrigue.
