Star Wars: Dark Legends by George Mann

This 2020 title, recently re-released as an audiobook, offers a fun concept, executed well: seven short stories in the Star Wars universe, all with some sort of spooky flair. I don’t want to oversell the horror here — these are PG scares, and not anything wildly out-of-place for the franchise. But they still represent an imaginative new spin on that familiar mythos, bending it just enough to incorporate the sci-fi equivalent of werewolves and vampires and such. The characters are all original too, save for a few cameo appearances from Darth Vader, the Grand Inquisitor, and Dok-Ondar and the return of Darth Caldoth and his apprentice Ry Nymbis from author George Mann’s previous anthology Myths & Fables.

None of this is remotely essential to the canon, of course, but it’s a quick read that delivers what it intends to and doesn’t overstay its welcome. That’s a win in my opinion.

★★★★☆

Four Children of King Solomon

King Solomon had many wives and mistresses; through some, he had many children. Four of his beloved children didn’t come from either of these ladies but through death and magic. Daughters he had; Sonadia, Glinda, Kalinya, and the mischievous of them all, Gayelette. They’re known as the Four Great Witches. None ever met them. If one did, only words passed through mouths and their establishment’s titles.

Years and after King Solomon’s imprisonment in a domain called Babilim, under god’s punishment, unless seventy-two pillars awakened and set him free.

The absences of his legacy left the daughters overseeing it. Most importantly before their creation, were the demon contracts King Solomon form, splitting the responsibility in a cardinal direction.

Gayelette takes the north that rules over by Ziminir.

Glinda had the south where Gaap resided.

Kalinya went for the east that Amaymon was occupied.

Sonadia got Corson, who’s from the west.

These were the names of the four principal kings who had power over the other demons King Solomon had contracted. Through centuries and without a simple way to free their father, the daughters kept his legacy strong, building around it as each represented themselves uniquely.
