I got this softcover at Barnes and Noble. It's a fantasy/SF anthology featuring reimaginings of a variety of myths and legends. Among my favorites:

"Phantoms of the Midway" by Seanan McGuire: "The sky over Indiana was Dorothy Gale blue..." - where carnie-girl Aracely meets a local girl who bears severe burn scars, and who just might be a ghost. Surprisingly sweet, this one, with nods to the legend of Hades and Persephone.

"Fisher-bird" by T. Kingfisher (a pseudonym of Ursula Vernon), where the titular bird "flew like the air had personally offended her". She has an entrancing meeting with a badly-injured human, each of them equally bemused to be communicating with the other. In a folksy style, the tale gives the reader hints as to just who the human is, and shows how Fisher-bird helped him at the cost of a band of red around her belly. Lovely mix of a "Just So" story and the myth of the labors of... but that would be telling! [This one would be a pure joy to read aloud.]

"Curses Like Words, Like Feathers, Like Stories" by Kat Howard takes the tale of the Children of Lir and gives it a poignant new conclusion.

"Across the River" by Leah Cypress takes the Jewish myth of the Sambatyon, a river supposedly raging with rapids and even with stones hurled high - except on every Shabbat. The protagonist is a cantor in a nearby town, and uses knowledge of the river's attributes to combat a sorcerer, to very good effect.

"Live Stream" by Alyssa Wong, a wrenching spin on the myth of Artemis and Actaeon, reimagined as internet revenge-porn on a victim who knows how to strike back - with a highly satisfactory resolution.

"Buried Deep" by Naomi Novik addresses the legend of the Minotaur - from the viewpoint of his sister Ariadne, who knows the truth behind the fearsome legend spread by Minos to conceal his own crimes. Poignant and powerful - and it made me want a different ending to her legend...

"Florilegia, or Some Lies About Flowers" by Amal El-Mohtar re-imagines the tale of Blodeuwedd from the Mabinogion, to beautiful effect.

Other tales touch on Egyptian myth projected into the future, Native American myth gone cyberpunk, Sumerian myth in space, a touching look at the fate of Sisyphus, and more. Quite an enthralling collection.

I'm adding this book to the Otherworldly bookbox, which will be on its way to its next stop shortly. Hope it travels safely, and that people enjoy the selection!

I picked this book out of emmejo's Otherworldly Bookbox (Sci-fi, Fantasy, Horror). This book has a nice variety of short stories and they sound like perfect reads for me.
Thanks for sharing!
