Author Laura Venita Green, whose genre-bending novel Sister Creatures dropped on October 7, recommends Hellions in “10 Books Featuring Devils, Doppelgangers, Ghosts, and Creepy Dolls” on Electric Literature:
Monsters, beasts, creepy dolls, a mystic manuscript, a Swamp Ape, a Wild Professor, and Pazuzu, the demon from The Exorcist. The eleven stories in this collection have it all. Through the use of myriad fantastical elements, Elliott explores the clashing worlds of children and adults, and how one can never fully understand the other. . . . Rendered in hyper-specific prose, Hellions evokes an underlying tension and uncertainty that feels very true to the human experience. I recommend this book to everyone.
