Euryale
When investigative journalist Christopher Stone is secretly invited to witness the execution of a classified government prisoner, he expects a war criminal, a terrorist, or a political ghost.
Instead, he meets a woman who claims to be two thousand years old.
Euryale-one of the last Gorgons-has spent eighty years in chains, blamed for a series of impossible deaths that left victims transformed into stone. But as Christopher records her testimony, she reveals a different history: she was never a monster, but a guardian, imprisoned for surviving the destruction of a world that needed her to be one.
When she vanishes on the night of her execution-leaving behind no body, no recordings, and no proof she ever existed-Christopher becomes the sole witness to a truth powerful enough to be erased. To preserve it, he must do the only thing that cannot be classified, confiscated, or destroyed.
He must turn it into a story.
Euryale is a literary Gothic novel about myth and power, witnessing and erasure, and the stories societies create to justify the monsters they need.
For readers of Mexican Gothic, Piranesi, and The Secret History.
