Alexis Hall
Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Long Live Evil in a scintillating contemporary fantasy from USA Today bestselling author Alexis Hall!
When the Midnight Realm began bleeding into the normal world, turning people into monsters and ever-larger chunks of England into fairytale hellscapes, a man in a harlequin mask told Olivia Day she was the only one who could stop it.
She didn’t really think to ask why. Probably because she had been twelve years old at the time.
Olivia and her friends had been the Guardians of Fate; the thin glittery line between the world we know and a place of unknown terrors.
That was a long time ago.
These days she has a perfectly nice life with a perfectly nice wife, a perfectly nice house and perfectly nice kids. She only occasionally wakes up screaming from the nightmares.
But when her daughter starts having dreams about a palace made of mirrors, and a man who turns into an owl, and terrible red eyes in the night...
Well, Olivia always said she'd go to war to protect her daughter.
Commentaires
Praise for Hell's Heart:
"Wow." —John Scalzi
"Hell's Heart is a startling, ferocious love letter to all the rawest emotions the human body can produce. Hall is a master of voice and scale, and this relentlessly gripping ode to the splendors and miseries of existence is no exception. I can't think of anyone else who could successfully pull off Moby Dick meets Treasure Planet by way of Fleabag—an unbelievable accomplishment from a tremendous author." —Sarah Gailey, USA Today bestselling author of Spread Me and Just Like Home
"Fey, funny, and extremely metal." —Malka Older, author of The Mimicking of Known Successes
“A towering love song to both Melville and Joan D. Vinge, a marvelous, intricate, heart-shattering romp.” —Lilith Saintcrow, author of the Dante Valentine series
"Hell's Heart goes like gangbusters and is entirely unhinged. I'll follow Alexis Hall anywhere."--Kelly Robson, author of High Times in the Low Parliament
"Call me fangirl! This is Hall’s best, weirdest, and most snarkily delightful book yet. Whether you like even-more-queer Moby Dick retellings, space whales, disaster bi drama, Jovian gaslamp science fiction, razor-sharp satire of capitalist theology, Locked-Tomb-style obscure jokes, Cthulhu cultist crew members, thematically-important infodumps about xenobiology – or better yet all of those things tied together in intricate perfection – this will be your jam." —Ruthanna Emrys, author of A Half-Built Garden
"Unlike Melville’s Ishmael, Hall’s protagonist has sexual relationships that are textual rather than subtextual and also pretty hot. The worldbuilding is strong and—as is the case in the most resonant science fiction—disturbingly plausible... a good old-fashioned space yarn." —Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Alexis Hall:
"Hall is a dizzyingly talented writer, one likely to spur envy in anyone who's ever picked up a pen." —Entertainment Weekly on Boyfriend Material
"Simply the best writer I've come across in years." —Laura Kinsale, New York Times bestselling author
