Boosted Booty of the Sea’s Bounty
A list of BOOSTED stories for April
Ahoy, Kraken Crew!
So I’m officially introducing myself as TKL’s new Boost Nominator. It’s been a pleasure to sail with you so far, and an even greater pleasure to nominate your amazing stories for boosting!
On top of managing the MMU I try to read through all the drafts our editors queue up and select the choicest morsels as an offering to the sea gods (Medium’s Curators). The result has been a tumultuous sea of highs and lows, but I’m learning as I go!
Below is my own curated list of stories that have received the grandiose Boost, ICYMI (in case you missed it). These authors pillaged and looted the seas of imagination and captured a treasure chest full of brilliant fiction!
Note: The following provide links to stories on Medium. Many of them are paywalled.
Click Here to follow my Boosted list! Read TKL’s hottest stories as I update it regularly! Don’t forget to check back here at the Kraken Lore, too, because there’s a lot of great fiction that doesn’t get nominated!
The first boosted story was The Salt Seller’s Story by Brian Loo Soon Hua, a cautionary tale about not getting too greedy.
My next successful boost was Shades of Valor by Bradan Writes Stories, a gritty twist on the traditional superhero trope.
Erosia Potter published a chilling ethereal drama called Shadows of the Past.
An emotional roller coaster ride of despair and suicide themes, Andrew Crocker threw Tides of Redemption into the Medium seas.
Feel like reading an insanity-themed horror? Martin Reaves delivers that and more in Bad Daddy!
Rachel Anderson Lee wrote a beautiful reimagining of the Beauty and the Beast though a series of interconnected dribbles in Confessions of an Unrepentant Beast.
Another successfully boosted Monday Mash-Up, The World of Clara Morgenstein bounds through with Matryoshka, a riveting cerebral isekai about a bullied little boy and his new “friend”.
Join Andrew Crocker and his high fantasy world in The Fallen Kingdom, another Mash-Up and delightful tale of two worlds.
Last successful nomination for the month was Lukas Unger with his gripping dystopian fantasy story Our Lord’s Tomb.
