Pub Day Love

I’m giddy from all the pub day press Hellions (Tin House) is getting. In addition to interviews with Poets & Writers and Counter Craft and a playlist with Largehearted Boy, Locus features Hellions in “New Book Releases: 4/15/25,” Book Riot in “New Releases and More for April, 2025,” Lit Hub in “Virginia Woolf! Ishion Hutchinson! R. Crumb! 24 New Books Out Today,” and Daily Kos in “Contemporary Fiction Reviews: Reading is Resistance and Solace.”

 

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.”
