Daedalus is Dead by Seamus Sullivan

We all know the myth of Icarus – now we see events through Daedelus' eyes as he searches the Underworld for Icarus. Seamus Sullivan deconstructs the myth of the Minotaur, masculinity and fatherhood in this unsettling novella.

I hadn't really thought about Daedelus much past 'father of Icarus, made the wings'. Sullivan fleshes Daedelus out and makes you think about the old myths and how they still resonate today. A powerful tale, I'd recommend this for high teens and up. Publication date is September 30, 2025.

I received an ARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
