Saxsma brings readers a darkly comedic & wonderfully inventive portrayal of a village's brush with disaster, depicted with incredible depth, razor-sharp wit, and an unflinching eye for storytelling.
An orphan wandering a lonely road is taken on an unexpected adventure when a mysterious & enigmatic traveler offers him food, water, and an invitation to join his mission to a nearby village of unparalleled wealth and extravagance. The traveler's purpose? To deliver the village a grim warning. A giant will come in three weeks' time and deliver utter ruin & devastation to their peaceful corner of the land.
Though the orphan refrains from skepticism of his new caretaker, the traveler assures the villagers not to worry, he can save them!
As the village prepares for the impending threat under the traveler's tutelage, A Giant Comes captures the complexities of human nature and the impact of fear & uncertainty on communities in the face of calamity, and soon doubts begin to emerge. It is not long before the orphan, too, can no longer ignore his own mistrust for the traveler's claims creeping in.
With unpredictable plot twists and a cast of quirky, flawed, and wholly original characters, A Giant Comes is a pitch-black comedy that delivers heart, laughs, and horror in equal measure from a remarkable new voice in fiction.
