In this prequel to the Bram Stoker Award-nominated novel Malediction, folklore professor Sam West and his young assistant Gillian Keffler discover that there may be more truth than fiction to the urban legend of a race of lizard people living beneath the streets of Los Angeles. “The Lower Animals” originally appeared in the Bram Stoker Award-nominated collection Monsters of L.A. under the title “The Urban Legend”.
“…’The Urban Legend’ was simply brilliant. It took the legend of a race of lizard people living beneath the city and brought it to life through character and story. It was a brilliant example of this author’s work, work that I would love to read more of at some point in time.” – Wordsmithonia
