Synopsis

The gods are funny . . . except when you piss them off. Then they suck. They really, really suck. Alexander Weiss discovers this tidbit when he inadvertently insults Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, and she casts him away on a forgotten isle filled with statues.

Being marooned is bad enough, but the fact that the island is also the home of Euryale, elder sister to Medusa, makes the situation a touch worse. The only thing keeping Alex from being petrified is the fact that Euryale has taken a liking to the blundering mortal. For now.

What follows next is a wild, adventurous tale filled with heroes, gods, monsters, love, and war that is nothing short of legendary.

“The Gorgon Bride” is a hugely entertaining story, with terrific narration! MC Alex is quite the doofus, constantly leaping to conclusions without listening, which gets him in all sorts of trouble with the easy to offend gods! Alex finds himself in the middle of the neverending battle between egos of......more

Originally published at Risingshadow. Galen Surlak-Ramsey's The Gorgon Bride is an entertaining and imaginative, but slightly flawed tale about what happens when a man accidentally and carelessly insults the Goddess of Wisdom and ends up finding a suitor for the snake-haired Gorgon.
