Legends Reborn: and other stories

By Carol Hightshoe

Old legends don't die. They wait for a new world to need them.

In Legends Reborn and Other Stories, Carol Hightshoe gathers two dozen speculative tales where myth, folklore, faith, and future history collide.

A cursed werewolf sings beside the grave of the woman he lost. A post-apocalyptic bayou turns an alien invasion into the worst snipe hunt in history. The Flying Dutchman sails the dark sea between stars. Bast stalks the halls of power. Pandora and Eve tell their own stories. Avalon, the Grail, unicorns, dragons, ghosts, zombies, kappa, kirin, and forgotten gods step out of legend to ask one enduring question: what survives when hope is the last magic left?

By turns haunting, wry, fierce, and quietly hopeful, this collection ranges from Arthurian fantasy and feminist myth retellings to ecological science fiction, Weird West ghost tales, political satire, and supernatural revenge. These are stories of curses and choices, old powers and new worlds, sacrifice and second chances, where the past is never truly buried and legends are always waiting to be reborn.

For readers who enjoy mythic fantasy, folklore-inspired science fiction, supernatural twists, and speculative stories with both shadow and heart.
