Happy publication day to @juliaelliott.bsky.social, whose Hellions short story collection from @tinhouse.bsky.social is an absolute favorite!!

My blurb: “Beautiful, visceral, surprising stories, both wild and dangerous. Elliott is an Angela Carter for our times.” tinhouse.com/book/hellions/
Hellions book cover is illustrative not photographic of a metallic green gator enraptured by red blossoms mosaic'd by veins of purple around them with two blurbs. On right, author photo of a pale woman with short brown hair staring dead eyed at the camera as is Julia's wont, being a fan of certain styles of Victorian photography. Seeing her do that look in person will crack you up.

TIME recommends HELLIONS in "Here Are the 15 Books You Should Read in April": "Blurring the line between reality and fantasy, Hellions provides an unsettling look at what it means to be alienated in our technology-driven world."

I blurbed Julia Elliott's Hellions because it is hands down one of the very best short story collections of the year. Acquire early and often. While there's still money.
