I really enjoyed this one. I’d heard pieces of Greek myths before through movies or random references, but never the full stories. Mythos does a great job filling in the gaps and giving everything proper context. Stephen Fry tells it all in a super clear and funny way. It’s informative without ever feeling dry.

Definitely recommended if you’re even slightly curious about Greek mythology.

I absolutely loved this. The world is disturbing and extreme, but it’s not just shock for the sake of it. The story hits hard. Even without the brutal setting, the stuff the main character goes through is genuinely emotional. I actually got tears in my eyes at one point, which almost never happens with books.

A really solid collection. Like most anthologies, some stories hit harder than others, but the highs are very high and make it absolutely worth picking up. There are a few here that really stuck with me, and overall it’s a strong showcase of body horror done in different ways. Definitely recommended if you’re into the genre.

A fascinatingly weird book. At first the quality of the writing was a bit poor, but once the story actually got started, I didn't have any issues with it anymore. The content is just weird, disgusting, yet fascinating... Not sure how to describe it, you just have to experience it I guess...

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? It’s a must-read. The themes still feel disturbingly relevant, and the world Orwell built is just so bleak and believable. I expected it to go in a different direction, so the ending completely caught me off guard, and it hit hard. One of those books that sticks with you long after you finish.
