Metamorphica by Zachary Mason

A bold, fragmentary reimagining of classical myths, this book renders ancient tales of transformation into spare, contemporary vignettes that probe identity, desire, power, and the uncanny. The retellings compress and reshape stories of gods, mortals, and monsters into startling, lyrical miniatures that illuminate the porous boundaries between human and animal, flesh and fate. Alternately elegiac, wry, and unsettling, the work invites readers to reconsider the persistent, often violent logic of metamorphosis and the ways stories remake us.
