INDEPENDENT BOOK REVIEW Deems HELLIONS “Punk AF”

I’m pleased to report that Independent Book Review lists Hellions in “Literary Fiction Books that are Punk AF.” Nick Gardner writes, “Witches, Cryptids, Ghosts, and other supernatural entities plague the pages of Julia Elliott’s strange collection of longer short fiction. No flash stories here. But just like when you enter a DIY venue and feel surrounded by like minds, the pages of Hellions is a comforting place for those who have normalized the weird. . . . Elliott’s stories are filled with loners and weirdos outperforming their normative peers and youngsters challenging their parents’ conservative ideals. What’s more punk than that?”
