The Nargun and the Stars was a book I first heard about on the classic PBS show “Cover to Cover with John Robbins”. Sadly, any references, videos, or information about this show or John Robbins seems to have been systematically excised from the internet. What, is the guy on the lam or something? At any rate, “The Nargun and the Stars” is about Simon, a recently orphaned boy, and the Nargun, a stone creature that is indestructible. It kills humans, sometimes for food, but mostly out of rage at the noise of their destructive machinery. The Nargun was a source of nightmare fuel for me for many years after reading this book, so of course I highly recommend it. It was also made into a miniseries, but I haven’t seen it.
