It depends on what you're drawn to. Are you more interested in interpretation of story for your own personal growth? Or interpretation of films? Or are you looking to create stories?

The best books I know on this subject at least on interpretive myth include:

  • Women who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes (sure it's about women's stories which can dissuade some younger men learning about this subject but it's seriously one of the best books on how to interpret a myth out there)
  • The Hero Within by Carol S. Pearson. This is more if you're trying to find your own personal mythology for instance.
  • The Water of Life by Michael Meade is tremendous. He does amazing events around the United States and gives good performances as well as talks and storytelling online via his non-profit Mosaic Voices.
  • To learn more about interpretation and ways to interact with your unconscious, I'd recommend many of Robert A. Johnson's books specifically Inner Work however Transformations of Masculine Consciousness, He, She, We and Living with the Heavenly Goddess are good too depending on what topic you're interested in.
  • For storytelling, I'd recommend the book Healing Hearts Communities which consists of a collection of stories which are appropriate to use for a variety of modern requirements. So you have stories talking about addiction or violence etc.

    In my experience, after Campbell people usually begin to drift toward what their personal myths are. So you have some people who get really into film and get caught on Vogler or Bonnet's work, others who want to go help returning veterans and end up getting really into Odysseus in America. Or people begin focusing on different cultures and religions and move from there.

God, this is so well summarized. It reminds me of the time I went to NYCC where Rothfuss and a bunch of other creators were fielding questions from the crowd about writing, and maaaaaaaaaan it was cringey. Can't we talk about the man's work for a second?

Op, I think what other people have summarized is good. Personally, I've liked King's On Writing, Sanderson's free lectures, Joseph Cambell's Hero With a Thousand Faces, Bonnet's Stealing Fire From the Gods, and there are just a TON of great books on myth - super important and part of the reason I was a religion minor.

Also, audible has lots of lectures up on storytelling in The Great Courses and they're basically awesome college courses!
