King Maker

This is an urban fantasy reimagining of the Arthurian legend set in African-American ghetto of Indianapolis. It basically works and I basically enjoyed it. It's the author's first novel, so I could forgive him for the problems I had with it, and there are some. But overall, it was a lofty idea and I give him kudos for the attempt. The book won the Kitschies Golden Tentacle Award for debut novel in 2010, an award for progressive, intelligent, and entertaining genre fiction.
