Waterstones best book of the year 2023







'A remarkable feat of storytelling' Rosie Hewlett







This should be the story of Hercules: his twelve labours, his endless adventureseveryones favourite hero, right?



Wrong.







This is the story of everyone else:





Alcmene: Hercs mother (She has knives everywhere)



Hylas: Hercs first friend (They were more than friends)



Megara: Hercs wife (Shell tell you about their marriage)



Eurystheus: Oversaw Hercs labours (He never asked for the job)



His friends, his enemies, his wives, his children, his lovers, his rivals, his gods, his victims.





Its time to hear their stories.





Herc gives voice to the silenced characters, in this feminist, queer (and sometimes shocking) retelling of classic Hercules myth.





Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and Joanne M. Harris

'It. Is. Fantastic' NetGalley reviewer



'An absolute delight' NetGalley reviewer

Arvustused

'A remarkable feat of storytelling Told through a cast of vibrant characters, Herc is a refreshingly unique and brilliantly funny exploration of Ancient Greeces legendary "hero".' Rosie Hewlett, author of Medea



Alternately hilarious and shocking, this is an astonishingly vivid retelling of the story of Hercules, and these are not the Greek myths I learned in school. Jodi Taylor, author of Just One Damned Thing After Another



A brilliant debut! Rogerson has produced a fresh and totally original retelling of the Hercules myth. For the first time, long-silent characters from the heros story are given a voice. They provide a sparkling new perspective on the club-wielding, all-daring son of Zeus. Alex Rowson, author of The Young Alexander



Hercules had his story, now it's time for everyone else to get their say. Wickedly fun and devilishly dark the tell-all for our times. Cari Thomas, author of Threadneedle



A captivating retelling with a very definite, personal voice, and a sharp, fresh perspective on the lives surrounding the hero. Genevieve Cogman, author of Scarlet



A rollicking ride through Greek mythology. Luna McNamara, author of Psyche and Eros



A brilliant, witty and unique retelling of the myths that at times had me laughing out loud. Rogerson's impressive talent leaps from the pages. Carly Reagon, author of The Toll House



A wonderfully layered piece of storytelling which manages to be earthy, haunting and beautiful all at once. Stacey Thomas, author of The Revels



Funny, action-packed, violent, tragic this is the story of Hercules as youve never experienced it before! An eye-opening treat. A.J. Elwood, author of The Cottingley Cuckoo

Muu info

The enthralling new queer, feminist retelling of Greeces greatest hero, Hercules myth
Phoenicia Rogerson is altogether mortal with a rather less chequered past than Hercules. After a decade of not being able to find his complete story on bookshelves, she decided to pull her socks up and write it herself. She's had two short stories published in the UCL Publishers Prize. She lives and works in London. Herc is her first novel.
