I, MEDUSA

This vibrant account of the mythical Medusa's short but powerful life expands on her origin story. Narrator Tyla Collier illuminates the young woman's vulnerability, warmth, and passion. The teenage Medusa craves life beyond her family's island home. As she strives to establish her place in the world as an acolyte and priestess of the goddess Athena, she is unwillingly embroiled in the petty dramas and manipulations of ancient Greek gods. A'rese Emokpae's narration bookends the production, recounting Medusa's transformation from a firm remove. Her voice is steely as the resolute Gorgon metes out punishment and infused with tenderness as the epilogue unfolds. A wonderful story that centers Medusa's love and fierce loyalty toward her sisters, friends, and all in need. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
