Soars far above any retelling I have read twisty, poetic, beautiful, plumbing every depth of despair and height of joy possible in human, beast, and god. This book will destroy you -- Premee Mohamed, author of The Butcher of the Forest Rich and vividly imagined; as intricate, cruel and haunted as the labyrinth at its heart. Here is something ancient made thrillingly, blisteringly new -- Malcolm Devlin, author of And Then I Woke Up An exquisitely wrought, tenderly examined portrait of fatherhood, invention, legacy, tragedy, and myth . . . this story and these characters have never felt more alive -- Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings Daedalus is Dead is a poetic requiem, written in sturdy, buoyant prose that ferries you across brilliantly reimagined Greek mythology to deliver you to the shores of a story about love and fatherhood and the endless maze of the human heart. A stunning debut; Sullivan has achieved something special here -- Moses Ose Utomi, Ignyte Award-winning author of The Lies of Ajungo Daedalus Is Dead is more than a mere reimagining of Greek myth. It takes an epic, sweeping, page-turning adventure and makes it unnervingly intimate, a meditation on meaning, vulnerability, grief, and longing that spans a lifetime and an afterlife . . . It's all here, in one tightly packed novella that you might finish in one sitting -- Robert Repino, author of the War With No Name series
