New Novellas: June 2020

In June, Emma Vanderpool released two new novellas which make a nice complement to her previous works! We also saw a new set of short stories by Rachel Beth Cunning! If any novellas are missing, please contact me.

	Eumachia: Patrōna Pompēiāna Emma Vanderpool (June 1, 2020) Just as Kandake Amanirenas told the true story of a powerful woman from Classical history, Emma Vanderpool's Eumachia focuses on the title character, an influential woman in first-century CE Pompeii. Given the success of Kandake Amanirenas, Eumachia promises to be an interesting reading for teachers and students alike! Full review pending. Available from Amazon.
	Surus Elephantus Emma Vanderpool (June 3, 2020) The third installment in Emma Vanderpool's series about animals in Roman history (following Sacrī Pullī and Equitātus), Surus Elephantus tells the story of Hannibal's crossing of the Alps from the perspective of his war elephants. If you liked Emma Vanderpool's other works, I'm sure you'll like this one! Full review pending. Available from Amazon.
	Rīdiculī et Horrībilēs Deī et Deae Rachel Beth Cunning (June 7, 2020) Rachel Beth Cunning is at it again, this time with no fewer than six short stories on mythological themes: Amalthea nursing Jupiter; Saturn devouring his children; the drawing of lots to determine which god rules the sky, sea, and underworld; Niobe's superbia; Mars looking for a wife; and Ceres and the Sirens. A book of short stories is certainly a welcome addition to the novella world! Full review pending. More information, including previews, available on the author's website. Available from Amazon.
