Morbid Retelling | Short Story Review | AstraDaemon

A provocative retelling of the Greek myth, in which Orpheus, the musician son of Apollo and Calliope, successfully rescues his wife Eurydice--dead of a snake bite-- from Hades.

L'ESPIRIT DE L'ESCALIER by Catherynne M. Valente is a modernized version of the ancient myth, but with a morbid twist. Very graphic way of saying, careful what you wish for.

As always,
AstraDaemon
