“High School Mythical: Asgard,” which takes place in a high school setting, similarly wanders far afield, breaking up the flow of stories. Though most tales, like “Freya’s Veil” and “Sisters of Hammer and Sword,” are set far in the past, others, including “Dreams of Fire,” bring mythology to the present-and the outlier “Fate of the World” explores an alternate, fantastical future involving Lovecraftian elements and impending apocalypse. Both gods and mortals feature here, with a special emphasis on strong women. The poem “Winter Wolf” serves well as an introduction to the collection, creating a strong storyteller voice and conjuring images of the dark north. Norse mythology comes to life in this collection of 22 wonderfully enigmatic stories and poems from Morgan ( The Raven’s Table).
