MUSINGS OF THE MUSES, an anthology of Greek myth-inspired stories from Brigids Gate Press, is now available for preorder!
My short story “The Serpent Queen” is a horror tale centered around a girl forced to make an impossible choice in an ancient, snake-centric ritual. This is a character that’s been in my head for a long time, inspired by many childhood summers exploring the ruins of Crete. I’m excited she’ll be out in the world soon!
Description from the publisher:
Sing O Muse, of the rage of Medusa, cursed by gods and feared by men…
From the mists of time, and ages past,
The muses have gathered; hear now their songs.
A web of revenge spun ‘neath the moon;
A poet’s wife who breaks her bonds;
A warrior woman on a quest of honor;
A painful lesson for a treacherous heart;
A goddess and a mortal, bound together by the travails of motherhood.
And more.
Listen to the muses, as they sing aloud…HER story.
Musings of the Muses is an anthology of 65 stories and poems based on Greek myths. The stories and poems, like the myths themselves, cast long shadows of horror, fantasy, love, betrayal, vengeance, and redemption. This anthology revisits those old tales and presents them anew, from her point of view.
Sing O Muse, of the rage of Medusa, cursed by gods and feared by men…
From the mists of time, and ages past,
The muses have gathered; hear now their songs.
It sounds like a cool anthology. Congratulations to you and all the authors on this upcoming release!
Thank you so much, Priscilla!
