Twisted Myths: 20 Classic Stories With a Dark and Dangerous Heart

Readers may be familiar with these traditional tales of gods, demons, and tricksters but they've never heard them like this before! Fantasy author Maura McHugh revisits the popular myths of Loki, Odin, Cupid and Psyche, and other myths from Africa, Asia, and the Americas -- and gives them a macabre makeover. These gruesome myths of love, treachery, sacrifice and revenge include:

The birth of the Hindu god Ganesha

The creation and destruction of four of the five Aztec suns

The ferocious revenge of Egyptian goddess Sekhmet

China's irrepressible Monkey King

Japanese Sun Goddess Amaterasu who banishes the night

All 20 terrifying tales are accompanied by stunningly dark illustrations that heighten the mood, and will leave readers thrilled, chilled, and eager for more.
