Gorlack the Goblin: A Goblin Cooking Adventure

by Joseph J. Bailey

Overview

Gorlack the Goblin is a minion, the lowest of the low in the Undermount, a warren of caves controlled by orcs and goblins beneath a dormant volcano.

Hounded by a cruel overseer who haunts his every waking hour, Gorlack is trapped with no chance of release. He spends his days toiling in the kitchen, cooking for the goblinkin in the mines.

He is unloved and unappreciated, and no one cares about his cooking—or his dreams—until the day a holy paladin tumbles into their clutches.

Then someone finally appreciates Gorlack's cooking, and his world changes.

With dwarves and dragons lurking above and nightmarish monsters skulking below, Gorlack decides it's time to cook up his own escape plan—one that might just shake the entire Undermount to its core.

Gorlack the Goblin is a fast-paced, goblin-inspired novella of roughly 17,000 words, delivering humor, heart, and a sprinkling of magic that fans of underdog fantasy won't want to miss.
