“This is not a time for men,” Inanna says from her place at the head of the table, in the seventh-storey boardroom where their number are tasked with decreeing fate.

“Inanna.” Not for the first time, Enlil gives off patronising patience. “Are you sure about that? I think you might not have considered the optics—”
The goddess of war and love’s gaze only softens after glancing in the direction of her ever-devoted handmaiden. Before that, its cold, quelling edge brings abrupt silence to Enlil and all masculine murmurs.
“It is time now for the women to speak.”
While goddesses and monsters aren’t like us, they do still crave the company of ones who love, fear and worship them. Not necessarily in that order. This new anthology from Scylla Publishing brings them down from the heavens and out of the caves.
In this book, sapphic goddesses and mythic monsters have been wrested from traditional settings and they have feelings about that, for good or ill. Widening the pool of gender and sexuality has offered us the opportunity to create an anthology about goddesses and monsters that is diverse in the selection of time and place within myth, particularly relating to diversity in regional myths represented. Intersectionality has been an important part of this process, from the regions are represented, to the intersecting identities of the characters, all the way to the genders and races of our contributing authors.

See sapphic goddesses and monsters as you’ve not seen them before. There is no one way that sapphic love should look, and that becomes doubly true when revisioning immortal goddesses and monsters. The sapphic love you’ll find in these pages is asexual and trans, polyamorous and kinky. It’s unapologetic and joyful even when mildly unhinged.
