**American Gods by Neil Gaiman**
A blend of Americana, fantasy, and various strands of ancient and modern mythology from the master of imagination.
**Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis**
A profound and heartfelt interpretation of the myth of Cupid and Psyche, told from the perspective of Psyche’s sister, Orual.
**The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M. Harris**
An amusing first-person narrative by the trickster Loki, riffing on the cosmology and characters of Norse myth.
