Black Canaan was a pretty racist story. Brief summary....our hero hears about trouble in the Louisiana swamps. He goes there to the little town of Grimesville. There, he finds out that, in the swamp, this conjureman named Saul Stark is using his voodoo powers to incite the blacks to kill all the whites and make Stark the emperor of an all black America, and our hero has to stop them.

Covok posted:If anyone is willing to give it a read and give me some honest critique, I'd be deeply appreciative. So, I'm wincing a little bit at the term "the Faraway". Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but it seems like when writers use terms like that, they're trying very hard to tell their readers, "Look, this is a fantasy story." Also, Sebastian seems not to do very much in the story. He visits the Tribal village, they say, "Hey, we've got a Wendigo problem because this guy's kid got killed and he's not dealing well.." Then he meets the kid from the other tribe. Then the Wendigo shows up, is about to kill the other tribe's kid, Sebastian says, "Hey, don't grieve for your dead kid by killing other kids! That's not cool!", and the Wendigo dissolves. So not very much happens in the story. Sebastian doesn't really face any obstacles or trouble in stopping the Wendigo, and he only stops it because the kid from the other tribe happened to show up to get menaced, which let Sebastian appeal to the guy's conscience. I just think the story needs more, but that could just be because the story is so short.
