Kizer, Drew: Burdens (Paperback)

In Burdens, Drew Kizer presents a captivating collection of short stories that transport readers to a primitive world filled with prophecies, dreams, and wonders. The narratives feature a diverse cast, including crooked priests, crestfallen kings, damaged soldiers, enchantresses wielding illicit spells, goodhearted fishermen, and, most notably, prophets. Readers will encounter a reluctant seer who poisons himself to stop the visions from invading his sleep, an old man leading his red heifer to the sacrificial grounds, and experience miracles and time travel. These parable-like tales confront profound questions about human nature, suffering, and sacrifice, offering both entertainment and introspection.
