But it just seemed to me that we entirely overlook her context she isn’t a lone threat to anybody, she is a sister of three sisters, they lament for her when she is killed. I wrote a chapter for her in Pandora’s Jar and when I got to the end of it, having told a story of a monster who isn’t a monster – she is a monstered woman – I was so angry and hurt for her that I felt I owed her a novel. Natalie Haynes says: ‘I’ve wanted to write about Medusa for ages. Stone Blind will be published in hardback, trade paperback, ebook and audio in the UK on 15 September 2022. Natalie Haynes’ previous novel, A Thousand Ships, which told the story of the Trojan War from the perspective of the women and goddesses involved, was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize 2020. ![]()
