Stories from the Dark: Queer Folklore and Mythology from around the World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798393057701)

Prowl the desert with Egyptian Gods Seth and Horus, brave the icy world of Jotunheim with Loki, explore the Chilean rainforest with Florenzo, and discover many more incredible queer characters in Stories from the Dark: Queer Folklore and Mythology from around the World.

Stories from the Dark takes an intimate look at some of humanity's oldest stories that feature a vast collection of LGBTQ+ characters. By re-imagining traditional tales from Egyptian, Norse, Inuit, Chinese, Hawaiian, and Chilean mythology, author Lesley Porterfield creates a vivid world of complex characters, diverse cultures, and powerful stories. Just as in history, queer characters have always been an important part of any culture's beliefs, rituals, and stories. In Stories from the Dark, these characters not only change their worlds for the better, but ours as well.

After thousands of years relegated to the footnotes of history, these tales are finally ready to step into the light.
