Clay Martin’s Wrath of the Wendigo: 4/5 “The Qanon Shaman’s Novel”
(note: awesome cover)
Forgive the title because while many in 2023 will read that title and balk at the notion of a novel based around an “uprising” on January 6th, 2020, took place, the question remains simple. Is a novel that was based around a real event as a moment in living history can help shape a work of fiction. While I wasn’t planning to review or read this book at all, a very real comment from ChickenHawk on the books amazon page, “Fantasy and magic with a Qanon bent, if you like Tolkien and the dude in the buffalo hat you might enjoy this.”[1]
Which is what prompted me to order and review Clay Martin’s first novel, “Wrath of the Wendigo.” The more comments I saw related to Qanon, I definitely had to read it. Because this book has nothing to do with Qanon, at all. No scenes where Hillary Clinton does blow off a dead child’s body. None of that.
