A free Tor.com #shortstory: https://www.tor.com/2021/08/25/lesprit-de-lescalier-catherynne-m-valente/

What if Orpheus got Eurydice back? Is he really madly in love with Eurydice, a person, or just with the idea of her? Did he bring her back for her sake, or for himself?

Greek mythology meets the modern times meets zombies.

Great descriptions. Dark and deliciously twisted.

Marvelous.

(To enjoy, knowledge of Greek mythology required)

5.0/5
