An erotic, queer twist on five Greek myths as you've never read them before - for fans of LOVE IN COLOUR meets SONG OF ACHILLES
'A stunning debut' GUARDIAN
'A feast of gender-bending pleasures' THE BIG ISSUE
She keeps her eyes on me while she lights the end of my cigarette. I stare back at her. Something in the pills and in her eyes is opening up my muscles like hands parting from prayer, like trees breathing.
EROS is a stunning collection of short stories, grounded in truth and coloured with dazzling imagination and alluring, unpredictable mystery. Revealing how queerness, nature and myth have been intertwined for eternity, these are stories of gods and goddesses. Of Zeus, of Eurydice, of Hermaphroditus, of Icarus before he flew into the sun. Stories of queer life, lust, revenge, wrath, passion and sex. Of yearning, love, loss. Some transformations span across a life, and others, an evening. Perspectives will shift. Houses will burn. Lovers will learn their fate.
Zoe Terakes has skilfully blended myth and modernity to illuminate the complex and enduring truth of trans lives, resisting a history of erasure and delivering a sexy, soul-touching book to read to your lover . . . or yourself.
'Transness is not an abnormality of nature but a necessity of it. You'll find that refrain woven into EROS's tapestry, stitched into the way characters dive into the ocea, like they are returning to it' VOGUE
