The Hungry Gods

“Readers with a bent for social commentary and solving puzzles will be doubly pleased.” – Publishers Weekly on Ogres“An absurdly funny, sharply written novella… a must-read for genre newbies and sci-fi fans alike.” – Starburst Magazine on One Day All This Will be Yours“A masterclass in concise storytelling… The book whips along at a rapid pace and characters are cleverly rendered. A fantastically easy read.” – SciFiNow on Firewalkers“Tchaikovsky knocks it out the park… A cunning take on both fantasy tropes and heroes’ journeys. He sticks the landing, too, with a last paragraph that perfectly pays off what came before it.” – Locus Magazine on Ogres“Tchaikovsky focuses the taut story in such a way that every detail is relevant, building towards a climax that feels like a perfect pay-off.” – SFX Magazine on Firewalkers
