The Mythic Dream

[psocoptera]

The Mythic Dream, Navah Wolfe and Dominik Parisien's 2019 anthology. This came up repeatedly in 2020 awards I was following (Locus noms, an Ignyte, a Shirley Jackson) although I surely would have wanted to read it anyways just because it was their latest anthology. This one is pretty similar to the Starlit Wood concept, being retellings of myths rather than fairy tales - possibly worked for me a little less well, since I was less familiar with/invested in some of the myths, but it's a good anthology and I definitely recommend it to people who like this sort of thing. Standouts for me were "Across the River", Leah Cypess, "Kali_Na", Indrapramit Das (which won the Shirley Jackson), "Buried Deep", Naomi Novik, and "Florilegia; or Some Lies About Flowers", Amal El-Mohtar.
