Overview

A genre-bending short story cycle inspired by classical mythology and folk tales from around the world. Best-selling author and cosmopolitan mythographer Yanko Tsvetkov effortlessly subverts classical narratives about psychotic messiahs and damsels in distress, only to reinvent them as postmodern meta-myths about gender-fluid deities that not only struggle to control, but are often trapped within their own amusing creations. Half psychedelic romance and half political satire, Apophenia will immerse you into an eclectic universe of parallel worlds and competing pantheons that defy the expectations of the most adventurous readers. This extended edition combines the previously published volumes Sex Drugs and Tales of Wonder and Codex Hyperboreanus along with thirteen brand new tales from yet another, previously unexplored corner of the Apophenia universe-the village of Caudilla and its hypnotic wheat fields, grumpy olive trees, and bulls that lay golden eggs.
