Book excerpt: Short Story Press Presents All Lesser Creatures by Matthew Kilpatrick “All Lesser Creatures” takes an often-used mythologic monster idea and twists into a new direction. You will see the more familiar take on the idea in the story as well but also as seen in a very different light. This story realizes the full potential of a certain basic idea, just as the main character realizes the full and awesome potential of he and his kind, who previously believed themselves to be without defenses. The story is comprised of: • A simple man who suffers an accident leaving him with a bizarre condition • This man coming to accept and even enjoy his new lifestyle thanks to newfound community • Several unusual creatures with amazing abilities • Unexpected twists on an old idea, taking it to new places and to a new level • A tale of triumph over vicious oppression by the downtrodden underdogs • A new appreciation for a wide variety of animals “All Lesser Creatures” is a refreshing and positively affirming story. If you feel like the world has got you down and there’s nothing you can do about it, just look to the example set by Gary Landry (the main character) and his friends. Your situation and the appropriate response will almost certainly not be the same but the message is clear: don’t underestimate or give up on yourself. Realize your true potential.
