The Judgment of Osiris — A modern retelling of an ancient myth. The ancient gods of Egypt reach through time and claim Owen as their next sacrifice. On the last day of the tour he leads, Owen accepts a gift from a rival tour guide Simon. The miniature sarcophagus contains a mysterious white powder that takes Owen into the mythic Egyptian underworld. Will resurrection come for him as it did for his namesake Osiris?
I’ll be reading from my short story “The Judgment of Osiris,” Monday, March 18, at 11:45 a.m. in Tivoli Room 320 AB on the Auraria Campus in Denver. The story will appear in spring in the anthology Tales of Firelight and Shadow edited by Alexis Brooks de Vita for Double Dragon Media.
On Tuesday we have our State of Publishing panel, and on Wednesday Gish Jen will present. (See the post below for details.)
