Twisting, turning, teeth bared, it tears through jungle and stone like it remembers something we’ve tried to forget. It doesn’t speak. The river god howls beneath Songphamit falls before emerging, a face of rock, ancient and furious.

The time is 3am, the moonlight sketches out the campsite as if by chalk. I'm moving from tent to tent, collecting all the pegs, I'm putting them all into my special bag. Tomorrow morning, I'll be offering these pegs, all of them, to the rivergod (his name is 'Jezzer'). Guyropes flutter in the breeze

Well, I did see the rivergod in THE SHAPE OF WATER, but was not aware that there is a male counterpart to mermaids and sirens.
Wonder if beings such as these exist in European lore, too.
And why I've never heard of them when everybody knows the Loreley.

#WilburSmith was never one of my favourites. But I read this whilst cruising down the Nile and I loved it. 7/10 #RiverGod

Heyy the world is pretty much like ours but there's all these weird, terrifying gods that are part of everyday life! Very very good dialogue and worldbuilding. These 2 are followers of a rivergod that's been outlawed, they kinda hate each other but were sent away to find a 'miracle'. Horrors ensue👍

I'm glad that I didn't pick River God as my first ever Wilbur Smith book, or I may not have continued reading this series. In any case, behold my battered copy!

Happy Philippine Heritage Month!!!!! Highly reco @zacharysterling.bsky.social 's book!!!! Found the #bakunawa similar to the #rivergod in #SpiritedAway

It is ironic that 150 years ago any educated commenter would have easily recognized this as "Dionysos as rivergod" (symbol of joy in place) with his Thiasos (symbol of togetherness in diversity).

Those who cover up such symbols today are in one boat with Orban and Trump. Putin has no boats anymore.
