POETS & WRITERS Interview

Poets & Writers interviewed me for their “Ten Questions” series just in time for Hellions pub day! “This week’s installment of Ten Questions features Julia Elliott, whose story collection Hellions is out today from Tin House Books. The eleven stories in this collection leap from the occult to the comic, from the horrific to the wondrous, as earthbound characters yearn for the otherworldly.”

HELLIONS a “Must-Read” for April

Over the past week or so Time, Gizmodo, Chicago Review of Books, Goodreads, and Vol. 1 Brooklyn have listed Hellions as a must-read for April (see previous posts for details). Here are a few other book-lovers who recommend my collection this month: Books of Brilliance  in “Must Read April Book Releases You Can’t Miss,” Read Between the Spines in “April 2025 Most Anticipated New Book Releases,” and Write or Die Magazine in “33 Books We Can’t Wait to Read: April 2025.”

Great Review of HELLIONS from KIRKUS

I’m happy to discover a great review of Hellions from Kirkus Reviews today: ““Elliot’s prose is immersive and lush, with all the wonders and unexpected surprises of an overgrown patch of woods. . .. The fantastical elements create a new language that makes the familiar strange again. . .. The path forward is not always brightest in these transporting tales.”
