Selected Reviewers' Comments on Moon Goddess

It always comes down to a choice: she can be herself, or she can be loved by a mortal man. Tonight, she stands at the devil’s crossroads once again.

Moon Goddess

Some selected reviewers' comments:

...exquisite, compact work, bursting with evocative detail and layered resonance... I’ve little to offer but praise. The whole setup with the bat and the casualness of its death is sublime. That carries through the piece like a low rumble of distant thunder and leaves a subtle unease in its wake – the sort of thing that sets apart mundane prose from genuine achievement, however brief the word count.

I always like when someone can renew a myth, or any story, making it his/her own. When T.S. Eliot asked Ezra Pound how to write something if all good stories had been taken, Pound told him "Make it new."

I feel that's what has happened here.

Beautiful compressed tale---love the interweaving of myth and present reality... fascinating mainly for the wells of underlying thought it opens up. You tell a good story, Ginger.

This is a beautiful story, full of rich meaning. The first paragraph, which invokes summer evenings of the past, is lovely. One of your great strengths as a writer, Ginger, is your wonderful sense of place. In that one paragraph I am brought back to those long evenings full of fireflies and shadows... The mixing of the hero-rescuer and the rescued is blurred here. It is Ginny, finally, who realizes that she really is Ariadne, and that the difference between Ariadne and Theseus is not so great as one would think.
