Happy to see Hellions (Tin House, 2025) in Literary Hub‘s “100 Notable Small Press Books of 2025.” A great list. “Hellions poses burning questions about humanity’s place in nature and connection to ancient rituals amid the environmental degradation and tech distractions of the modern world. But it’s way more fun than that makes it sound. In these funny, feminist tales, laced with magic, rule breakers raid hoards, soar to uncanny trampoline heights, visit prehistory through magic dating apps, and follow primal urges. Elliott writes sensory, sensual prose turned up to 11, with descriptions that practically explode. These rich and surprising stories, grounded in archetypal imagery, linger after reading the way a spent firework shimmers in the night sky before fading.” (Jenny Shank)
