Maniac Gods by Rich Hawkins

goblinsstolemybrain's review

5.0

I think "Maniac Gods" is probably one of my favourite books of this year (I'm not sure if it was published this year, but I read it this year, so it still counts!). This book is bleak and horrific, but at times also emotional and even delicate. Hawkins dangles hope in front of our noses at numerous points throughout the novella, only to throw another obstacle in Albie and Milly's way. The love between Albie and Milly is beautiful, and Hawkins' use of language is mesmerising.

Devastatingly harrowing and brutal, I loved every second of it. I will definitely be reading more from this author.
