- God-like powers = curse, not gift
- Mythic lore so weird it hurts (good)
- Graphic violence meets existential philosophy headfirst
- Subversive power dynamics rip through formulaic fantasy
You survived Reeves and Miéville's immortal carnage party—the gore-soaked existential dread, the lore that clawed at your brain. Now Scott Hawkins throws god-cursed protagonists into a mythic labyrinth where powers aren't gifts but inheritances of trauma, where visceral dismemberment dances with philosophy, and where the weird isn't aesthetic but ontological. This is fantasy for readers who demand their escapism come barbed with systemic critique.
Hawkins doesn't court your comfort. He builds a world where violence interrogates the soul, where authority is a wound, and where the bizarre serves truth over spectacle.
If you need weird fiction that punches while it thinks, this is your next obsession.
What Readers Are Saying
"…What I am trying to say is that it was odd, I often had no clue what was going on, but I loved every second of it! But, once you do, the great characters (pretty much all of whom were interesting in their own way), the creative dialogue, and the unique story come together for an experience not to be missed." — Matthew, Goodreads
"Eventually it all starts to make sense and I just couldn't put it down! If you're looking for something different - horror, thriller, whimsical type then this is it." — Emily (Books with Emily Fox on Youtube), Goodreads
"I still freaking love this book. I could keep reading this every single year and still love it. It's definitely one of my all-time favorites." — Bradley, Goodreads
