" 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.

Don''t miss this fun, queer, clever intrigue!" --Malka Older, author of The Mimicking of Known Successes "I haven''t been so enchanted and delighted by a book in years. the most perfect blend of gentle humour, wild creativity and love." --Emma Newman, author of Atlas Alone "Extraordinarily imaginative. This is the most fun I''ve had between two covers in a while!" --Lara Elena Donnelly, author of Amberlough " Full of adventure, chaos, magic, and lust, this will enthrall Hall''s fans and new readers alike."-- Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Mortal Follies "Utterly enchanting"-- Publishers Weekly, starred review , on Confounding Oaths " Thoroughly queer and extraordinary."-- Kirkus , starred review, on Something Extraordinary "Hall has a gift for humor but is also skilled at composing passages that evoke the deepest emotions, whether the ache of long-denied love, crushing grief or the relief and soulful joy of being accepted and adored as one''s most authentic self.
