Raven: The Truth of the Trickster: Fifteen Modern Myths for a Disenchanted Age

Raven: The Truth of the Trickster We live in a world that believes it has been explained. The mysteries have been mapped, the myths debunked, the magic rationalized away. But what if the old stories weren't finished with us? This collection of fifteen modern myths featuring the ancient trickster Raven invites you to rediscover enchantment in a disenchanted world. Raven—the shapeshifter, thief, and catalyst—doesn't merely play pranks or steal suns. He stumbles into the very architecture of human experience: He accidentally invents the first lie and discovers its terrible, merciful power - He confronts a monster and learns that ridicule is a more devastating weapon than any claw or tooth - He is forced to barter his most precious memories for survival - In a moment of profound humility, he learns that a voice is defined not by its volume, but by its purpose These are not fairy tales for children. They are fairy tales for those who have lived long enough to know that the world is not divided into light and dark, but is composed of infinite shades of gray. They are for those who understand that the greatest truths are often found in paradox, and that the most important gifts often arrive disguised as curses. Praise for the collection: "A stunning reimagining of mythology for the modern age—equal parts profound, witty, and unsettlingly relevant."
