The curse at the heart of Oedipus Rex begins with Oedipus as king, facing a Thebes ravaged by plague, a punishment from the gods. In his determination to save his city, Oedipus embarks on a quest to uncover the plague’s cause, only to stumble upon a harrowing secret that threatens his very identity and future.
But what if we look even deeper into how Oedipus’s past haunts and shapes him as a man? “A Theban Tale” is my contemporary reimagining of this legendary tragedy, written for today’s readers. This series introduces new characters, layered plotlines, and fresh adventures to revitalize the ancient myth.
The series unfolds over 15 chapters, with a new chapter released every other week starting in January 2026. The prologue and first chapter will be available to read for free. Access to the remaining 14 chapters will be offered for $2.49 per 24-hour reading period, or as part of a monthly subscription for $7.49, granting unlimited access. Subscribers will also enjoy special perks, including early access to new chapters, downloadable extras (like artwork, character profiles, and maps), exclusive discounts on merchandise and print editions, and much more.
