Mythology, whether classic or modern, has always taken readers on a magical ride. Mythologically Torqued, volume I, takes those tales from days of old, or more recent history, and places a unique spin on the beloved lore.Â
The gods of Olympus make appearances, as do deities from Japanese, Norse, and other belief systems. With rampant sexual desires, these gods manage to slake their thirst for passions of the flesh in a rather untraditional mannerâŚif the oral traditions passed down from generation-to-generation were at all accurate.Â
These fifteen short stories are penned by both seasoned scribes and new authors; the anthology provides readers with the perfect opportunity to explore offerings from their favorite storytellers as well as find a new favorite or two. And, a unique perspective on the stories we enjoyedâor were forced down our throats at the hands of a sadistic English teacher or twoâin our youth.Â
Containing both M/M and F/F stories from authors Alisha Monroe, Alyx Shaw, Angelique Voisen, Carol Tierney, Delilah Storm, Eva Lefoy, Jacey Mills, L.J. Hamlin, Leah Ellwood, Logan Zachary, Max Wilde, Salome Wilde, Shiloh Saddler, T. Strange, and V.L. Locey, Mythologically Torqued volume I is sure to have something for every penchant.Â
Eros finds his soul mate in the arms of a demigod friend in L.J. Hamlinâs In Love with Zeusâ Son. In Shiloh Sadlerâs Clipped Wings, two men on a plantation find love under the most unusual circumstances in 1842 Missouri. V.L. Loceyâs Back to the Garden, Pan hits up Woodstock with the sun god Apolloâsex, drugs, and rock and roll take on a whole new meaning. In BrĂsingamen, Carol Tierney offers us the story of a magical necklace, and the payment goddess Freyja delivered to four dwarven sisters for itâs creation. Delphinos, by T. Strange, is a modern-age retelling of Dionysusâ creation of dolphins. In Angelique Voisonâs version of the Japanese Moon Princess myth, Reiko is tasked with bringing the Emperorâs future bride, the fabled Moon Princess to court, and complications arise when Reiko falls head over heels for Kaguya. Charged with ensuring Sisyphus fails, Hercules is conflicted by his feelings for the former ruler in Angelique Voisonâs How Hercules Got His Bruise. In Leah Ellwoodâs Styx and Stone, Ferrying souls across the Styx is a lonely business, but Charon doesnât mindânewly arrived Stone is more than willing to keep him company. No one believes in the Greek gods anymore, and Apollo is in a rut, Ganymedeâcupbearer to the godsâ tries to get Apollo to see whatâs in front of him in Jacey Millsâ Another Night at the End of the World. Salome Wilde’s Eternal Grind offers a corporate take on Christian Hell, populated with horned and hoofed demons inspired by medieval monks’ fertile imaginations, which follows a pair of lesbian demon baristas, determined to find their own happily-ever-after. In the distant past, Ero was the god of desire, but in present day, he looks for love with Psyâa peerlessly gorgeous mortal manâand needs to keep a secret, in Alisha Monroeâs The Myth of Ero and Psy. Bound by chains and defenseless, Thor is being held captive by Garrick, a young man also forced to service until demands are met in Logan Zacharyâs Bound by Desire. Together, attraction ignites between Thor and Garrickâcan love grow if it is bound by desire? In Delilah Stormâs The Golden Balls, true loveâs kiss is powerful, and Jasperâs sexuality awakensâwill Anur be able to keep Jasper in this sleepy little kingdom? A spurned lover, mythical horse, and a public official walk into a pubâmurder, mayhem, and everlasting love result in Alyx Shawâs The Kelpie.
