Mythic

Mythic fiction is literature that is rooted in, inspired by, or that in some way draws from the tropes, themes and symbolism of myth, folklore, and fairy tales. Mythic fiction overlaps with urban fantasy and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but mythic fiction also includes contemporary works in non-urban settings. Mythic fiction refers to works of contemporary literature that often cross the divide between literary and fantasy fiction.

Afundarei o crepúsculo nos pratos, enquanto sussurro o segredo da loba, e deixarei que todas se sentem em redor da mesa. Elas soltar-me-ão o cabelo e tocarão, ao de leve, o meu pescoço. E da minha boca cairão flores sobre a toalha. Vejam o meu amor aí derramado como é infinito e grande e húmido, uma debandada de cavalos selvagens. Assim é o meu amor ...more
