Horus, son of Isis, vows bloody revenge on his Uncle Set for the murder and usurpation of his Pharaoh father. Based on elements from various versions of the famous Osiris myth, Hamish Steele has resurrected this fantastic story in all its symbolic and humorous glory.

In the category of wild back stories, this pantheon is giving the Greek Olympians a run for their money.
Ancient gods are not known for their decorum, so I can't really blame the ‘stereotypical juvenile dick/fart joke' type humour entirely on the author. He does manage to make some dizzying lore into a cohesive multi-chapter tale, and the somewhat sentimental ending worked for me.
It's silly and colourful and possibly educational(?). Really, really not for younger audiences.
