I Read Stories: The River Tokoloshe by D J Tyrer

 

The River Tokoleshe by D J Tyrer in Swords And Sorcery Magazine

Ini-ndoga is hired to guard the cattle. Something is taking them down by the river. Perhaps a crocodile? It’s not a crocodile, it’s a Tokoleshe. It sets a lure of a shiny jewel, and grasps with twine. Ini-ngoda’s spear cannot harm it.

He will need advice, from a muroyi, on how to catch it. Yet such people are strange and there is always a price.

Atmospheric southern African fantasy adventure, hinting at enormous mysteries.
