We’re very excited to present the authors in our Circe book! Following Medusa and Odin, this latest title publishes in January 2025 at the same time as Anansi. The book explores the fascinating figure of Circe through modern voices and tales, alongside a comprehensive introduction delving into the original myths. We are delighted with the 15 selected stories, all of which are entirely brand new, publishing for the first time in this collection. Our thanks go again to everyone who submitted a story for consideration on this theme, with congratulations to the below.

About the Series

Discover the mythology of humankind through its heroes, characters, gods and immortal figures. Myths, Gods and Immortals brings together the new and the ancient, familiar stories with a fresh and imaginative twist. Each book brings back to life a legendary, mythological or folkloric figure, with completely new stories alongside the original tales and a 30,000-word essay which emphasises ancient and modern connections, tracing history and stories across continents, cultures and peoples. New and emerging writers from open submissions reveal hidden themes, casting fresh perspectives on well-known stories, alongside the specially commissioned story of the origins and the cultural background from the era. The first titles are Medusa, Odin, Anansi and Circe.

 

This book will be available to early next year via book stores, Amazon, and our website page for Circe!
