Happy publication day to @juliaelliott.bsky.social, whose Hellions short story collection from @tinhouse.bsky.social is an absolute favorite!! My blurb: “Beautiful, visceral, surprising stories, both wild and dangerous. Elliott is an Angela Carter for our times.” tinhouse.com/book/hellions/

Hellions book cover is illustrative not photographic of a metallic green gator enraptured by red blossoms mosaic'd by veins of purple around them with two blurbs. On right, author photo of a pale woman with short brown hair staring dead eyed at the camera as is Julia's wont, being a fan of certain styles of Victorian photography. Seeing her do that look in person will crack you up.

I blurbed Julia Elliott's Hellions because it is hands down one of the very best short story collections of the year. Acquire early and often. While there's still money.
