The Mythic Dream is an anthology centered around myths and in particular, reimagining those myths. The list of authors that wrote for this anthology was filled to the brim with authors I have previously loved or who are already sitting on my TBR. And while I've read and enjoyed other anthologies, this is one of the best I've read in terms of the number of stories that I really enjoyed.
Some of my favorites were:
Fisher-Bird by T. Kingfisher
The Justified by Ann Leckie
Labbatu Takes Command of the Flagship Heaven Dwells Within by Arkady Martine
He Fell Howling by Stephen Graham Jones
Curses Like Words, Like Feathers, Like Stories by Kat Howard
Across the River by Leah Cypress
Buried Deep by Naomi Novik
The Things Eric Eats Before He Eats Himself by Carmen Maria Machado
Florilegia; Or, Some Lies About Flowers by Amal El-Mohtar
If you enjoy myths and retellings, I'd definitely recommend this anthology!
