Rachel Nussbaum is an artist and author living in Northern California. Her short stories have appeared in many anthologies, and recently, she’s been getting braver about getting her art out there too. She couldn’t pick a better cause than this anthology. Rachel hopes to do more illustrations in the future, hopefully for some of her own short stories and poetry.

NEW RELEASE: Of Gods and Monsters by JG Faherty

 

Medusa was cursed by Athena with the power to turn people to stone, and by Hera with immortality. After Athena no longer needed Medusa's head, it was buried with her body and lay there for millenia, until She awakens in Greece in 1915 when her head and body are reunited. 

She is insane, having suffered through centuries of being trapped between life and death, in a semi-aware state. As she regains her sanity and her memories, she adapts to the world and spends the next hundred years since her resurrection as a modern day vigilante, helping women who have been mistreated.

Until she meets Heather Kruger, a woman desperate to protect her daughter from her billionaire husband. Medusa’s plan to kill Evan becomes a fight for her own survival and revenge as Hera’s gift of immortality is put to the ultimate test.
