• Bemused Review

  The Muses narrated Hercules’s story. Now, they’ll narrate their own “gospel truth.” Living in a quiet seaside village with their overprotective mother, teenaged sisters Calliope, Clio, Melpomene, Terpsichore, and Thalia are talented performers with no audience.

  As the world descends into a wasteland full of homocidal Crankheads, Stephen is “saved” by WICKED and sent to their HQ. But even though his mother gave him to them, he refuses to play by their rules. He won’t forget his name, he won’t pretend to have no idea of his past. That notion is…
