A monstrously good reimagining of mythology in the modern world, Where Madness Lies by Heidi K. Allen is a psychological and mystical thrill for fans of the darker side of fantasy. When an oblivious oracle meets a desperate undercover goddess in a psych ward, their unlikely pairing may be just what the dwindling pantheon needs to survive annihilation. Visceral prose, powerful character bonds, and a deeply original plot make this female-driven adventure a contemporary standout. Wielding a patient storytelling pen that perfectly balances the whimsical and the macabre, Allen knows precisely how to hook a reader from the start with engaging characters and inventive detail, for a superb work of mythological fantasy.
