I wonder if my book, "Daughters of the Teardrop Sea", may need a little explanation. It doesn't fit into a genre perfectly but it may have some value on it's own.
The story is intended to be, broadly speaking, a horror story. A significant part takes place in the central character's mind. She is on a journey to 'find' her fetus, but this journey is not simply fantasy. All of the people and creatures she meets are from Greek mythology and all of her adventures are based on Greek myths. This is because many scholars believe that myths are representative of the contents of our minds.
When Laura descends into her deep unconscious she meets an old man who owns a ferry to take her across a river. In Greek mythology the dead cross the river Styx, which separates the underworld, on a boat run by a man named Charon.
Later, in a dream, Laura's husband comes to her as a swan and gives her a coin. The Greek God Zeus is said to have raped a woman named Leda in the form of a swan.
Laura seeks out three figures to guide her. In her unconscious mind they are her parents and her husband. In Greek mythology there are three 'fates' who are all blind but pass a single eye between them in order to see.
The first part of "Daughters of the Teardrop Sea" is actually a journey through the human mind. There is a direction and there is purpose. She is healing herself after being knocked into a coma. When she wakes up and gives birth to her child, that journey ends and another begins.
It could give this story more meaning if it's understood that it's the first in a series. The second book, "Invisible Children", is on my website in a first draft. Another related part is in process on the website as well. It's title is "Sentient Spring".Daughters of the Teardrop Sea
