But it’s also worthwhile and rewarding to read some of his stories so A) you can be in on what the fuss about Cthulhu is, and B) more importantly, you can see how he formed the source code for modern day horror. ![]() Lovecraft books can sometimes be off-putting. He was an imaginative, iconic, and influential writer whose legacy is complicated by his clear affinity for white supremacy, channeling his fear of non-Anglo-Saxons into stories of human monsters, alien invaders, and the fear of the unknown. Lovecraft was racist, xenophobic, and classist.

Circe’s tale specifically has been retold many times. Many authors and poets have reexamined these stories, such has Alfred, Lord Tennyson in his poem Ulysses, Margaret Atwood in The Penelopiad, and Rick Riordan in his young adult series Percy Jackson & the Olympians. Miller is not alone in retelling the well-known myths of Ancient Greece. Miller’s novel The Song of Achilles is written in a similar way in The Song of Achilles, Patroclus is the main character, although he is just a character at the margins of Homer’s Illiad. In her novel Circe, Miller flips the script, making Circe the main character and giving Odysseus, Jason, and Telegonus cameos in the same way that she is only a secondary character in their stories. Circe shows up in all of these stories but is not the central character. Argonautica and Telegony focus on Jason and Telegonus respectively. Metamorphoses is a compilation of many myths and features the story where Circe turns Scylla into a monster. ![]() Homer’s Odyssey, which is about Odysseus’s journey home from the Trojan War, includes an encounter between him and Circe, during which she turns his men into pigs. Miller draws from many of the plot points from ancient myths and texts, particularly Homer’s Odyssey, Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Argonautica by Apollonius of Rhodes, and Telegony, a now-lost epic believed to have been written by Eugammon. Circe is a novel about power, showing how the quest for power often leaves a chain of abuse in its wake. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thoughtfully compiled and written, this compendium is a must-read.

Our narrator is horror author Noelle Cashman. The voice is conversational and the story just flows naturally and easily. The first person narrative makes you want to read this thing right from page one and never stop. Put all that together in one book and you’ve got something like I’ve never read before and something that I freaking loved from beginning to end. ![]() And let’s not forget the fact that it has some downright freaky and messed up scenes in it. It’s also got the feeling of meta-fiction, but put that in a horror book and guess what, I’m in for that too. Dark humor? Yep it’s got a big handful of that too and who doesn’t love a little bit of humor in their horror now and then. It’s a little bit of historical horror fiction, which my regular readers will know is a huge plus for me.
