About the Magazine
Founded in 2022 | United States
Medusa Tales began as a crazy idea from a trio of statuephiles on three continents. Emilia, Olivia, and Veronica found each other through the magic of the Internet while seeking markets to publish their stories of transformation. Unsatisfied with the available options and wanting a publication dedicated to their chosen niche, Medusa Tales was born. Affectionately dubbed the Three Graces, our intrepid authors recognized that they lack the technical skills or time to create and run an online publication. Fortunately, they crossed Internet paths with Patrick O’Ryan, who loved the concept and agreed to develop Medusa Tales on their behalf and serve as its editor. He even contributes a story here and there when inspiration strikes.
