  • Legends: The Wrath of the Gods

    Anthony Horowitz

    Hardcover (Kingfisher, July 17, 2012)
    Don't mess with the gods. And if they mess with you? Run like hell . . . When it comes to mixing it up with the Gods, woe be to the man (or woman) who makes them angry. Legends: The Wrath of the Gods by Anthony Horowitz is a collection of five stories that demonstrates just how angry those Gods can get. From creative re-tellings of the Greek stories Pandora's Box, The Judgment of Paris, and Narcissus and Echo, to less familiar but equally cautionary Viking story of The Stolen Hammer of Thor, and the Inuit legend of The Ten Fingers of Sedna, one thing is clear―it never pays to mess with the Gods!

    Anthony Horowitz

    Hardcover (Kingfisher, May 24, 2011)
    From the pen of master storyteller Anthony Horowitz comes a new series of myths and legends from around the world, retold in a contemporary voice, and illustrated with bold, graphic artwork. Packed with Horowitz's signature action, humor, and suspense these collections feel fresh, modern, and perfect for today's fast-moving audience. When life is over, and the conflicted souls of the dead wend their weary way down to the underworld, what do they see? A three-headed dog with slavering jaws, a bubbling swamp and a hangman's noose, or simply darkness? From familiar stories like the Greek myth of Orpheus, to lesser known tales like the Viking legend of the poet Nornagest and his precious candle, or the story of the Indian Princess Savitri who cheated death with nothing but her smarts, this collection is full of characters who are brave enough (or foolish enough) to cheat death and tell the tale.
