A lyrical and transportive epic drawing deeply on Celtic mythology, The Way of Salmon Moon by D. Firth Griffith is a dreamy exploration of being, beginning, and becoming. Cairbre is a primordial protagonist, discovering identity and seeking purpose in the new epoch of man, after Earth Mother has shaken off the chill of an icy age. Weaving a melodic tapestry of language, folklore, and mysticism, Griffith challenges readers to embrace a setting outside of time and space, where the sacred work of breaking and birthing is revealed in all its chaotic beauty. This is not a novel to be passively observed, but a sprawling, visceral history to be engaged as one would instructive non-fiction, with Griffith melding established myth and original fiction into a uniquely transformative work of mythic fantasy, which unpacks the concept of creation in all its forms.
