Silhouette Nocturne

Calling Greek Mythology Lovers!

by Stephanie Draven on November 6th, 2009, 2:48pm 2 comments

One of my childhood memories is getting in trouble in class because I was so absorbed in a book that I didn't even hear the teacher come into the room--much less call my name. The book I could not pull my nose out of was about the ancient gods of Greek mythology. I was mesmerized by the monsters, the magic, and the tales of heroism. I'm still mesmerized by these things today, which may be why I write dark and sexy myth-inspired romances. I always thought I was alone in my fascination, but now that I pay more attention to popular culture, I'm noticing a lot of Greek mythology cropping up in modern media.

That's why I decided to run my Autumn Contest. I need your help brainstorming books, movies, and songs with overt
elements of Greek Mythology in them! I’ll be giving away a gift certificate and a free copy of one of my Nocturne Bites. All you have to do is post here on my blog, and I'll give you a raffle ticket for each answer.

I hope you'll be as tickled by the replies as I've been. I've written about a lot of ancient creatures including underworld nymphs, gorgons, dryads, chimeras, hydras, minotaurs and Greek Gods, but I'm not alone. There seems to be a flourishing of modern takes on mythology in the coming year, and I hope other enthusiasts welcome it as much as I do.

From the Mists of Wolf Creek--a tale of magic and mystery

From the Mists of Wolf Creek

by Rebecca Brandewyne

This book is Rebecca Brandewyne's Nocturne debut. It is a bit lighter than the other Nocturnes I've read but was a good read for the Halloween weekend.

Moon Kissed

by Michelle Hauf

I really liked this one, could not put it down. I really liked the Hero. He was dark, but he won over your heart. It was interesting to see if they would cope with Bella getting changed into Severo's enemy. Will their love last? Or will it be too much for Severo? How will Bella handle her transformation?
