Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:35:02 GMT

Jonathan N Pruitt, the author of The Amber Menhir, has something to say—and he’s illustrating it by creating the allegorical works we’ve recently been missing. Just as prominent figures like George Orwell and Ayn Rand have done in generations prior, Pruitt has penned his convictions to an enlightened audience in an entertaining manner that can’t be ignored.At the surface of Pruitt’s new series, The Shadows of the Monolith, the story appears to cater to the right, leaning heavily into scathing critiques of contemporary academia. With sarcastic humor in its narrative voice, Pruitt’s debut ignites the passions of the reader while quenching their thirst for the assertions society needs to hear, whether or not they agree. The Amber Menhir describes a world where an elite class of intellectuals have enslaved the masses under the auspices that they alone can save existence, albeit through costly blood magic.  The dark narrative quickly immerses you in a world of ‘deadly power politics and ...
