Jonathan Haupt’s review for The Post and Courier nails key themes in Hellions. In “Julia Elliott Pens Collection of Weirdly Wonderful Speculative Short Stories,” Haupt proclaims, “With nods to medieval history, folklore, horror, science fiction and Southern gothic coming-of-age narratives, Elliott traverses an uncanny and generally rural landscape where outsider heroes (or anti-heroes) escape normalcy by embracing the sublime or surreal otherworldliness inherent to who they were always meant to be.”
