Critics Review
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 splendours 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
Wow – John Scalzi, author of When the Moon Hits Your Eye
Fey, funny, and extremely metal – Malka Older, author of The Mimicking of Known Successes
Hall’s best, weirdest, and most snarkily delightful book yet – Ruthanna Emrys, author of A Half-Built Garden
A towering love song to both Melville and Joan D. Vinge, a marvelous, intricate, heart-shattering romp – Lilith Saintcrow, author of Strange Angels
Goes like gangbusters and is entirely unhinged. I’ll follow Alexis Hall anywhere – Kelly Robson, author of High Times in the Low Parliament
One of my favourite books of the year * Happy Dancing *
Hell’s Heart is a remarkable read, fun and deep and raunchy and wise in equal measures … a joy * Locus *
