Serial Fiction: The Giantologist

“The Giantologist” widens its reach! The serial fiction novel is now available on three serial fiction websites. Tapas, Royal Road, and Scribble Hub each have the story being posted in chapters and is expected to be 100% complete on each site by the end of 2026.

Back in 2008, I wrote a 556-page manuscript titled A History of Giants. I shopped the manuscript to nearly 100 publishers and agents with no success. The book’s length (nearly 200K words) was going to require the story to be edited down greatly or divided into three books. I tried to find a path forward with editing the book and several starts were attempted and abandoned.

Ultimately, I had a copy of the book produced through Lulu, one of the old self-publishing options at the time, and then put the book up on a shelf and moved on.

Last year, I posted the story on Amazon’s Kindle Vella since Pangloss Seas Books was offered exclusively on Amazon. It seemed like the perfect avenue. That was until Amazon shut down Vella in February 2025.

It was then recommended that I look at Tapas as a new home for the story. “The Giantoligist: A History of Giants” is now posted on Tapas with a schedule to add more chapters from the manuscript through 2025. The story remains at a lengthy 556 pages, so new chapters are plentiful. What’s nice about this continuing saga is that it is a completed story and not simply just a work in progress.

Here’s the blurb about the story:

Twins Darby & Darius are set to spend the summer with the grandparents they barely know the summer after their parents die. On their grandparent’s farm, they learn of their grandparents’ adventures in their search for the existence of giants on Earth. Follow the twins as they walk through their grandfather’s history lesson of ancient giants to the possibilities of giants today. A remarkable story of adventure, faith, and family!
