Our New Gods

‘Thomas Vowles has written something sui generis - a heaving, sinister, sweaty vision of contemporary queer Melbourne. Our New Gods is a gay Bildungsroman with a knife’s twist: I was hooked and couldn’t look away, even when the seediness of obsession and unfounded desire made me desperately want to. Reading this is like watching a car crash in slow motion but you’re the driver and you meant to do it.’ Madeleine Gray ‘The publication of Our New Gods is cause for celebration, for it signals the emergence of a gripping, unique and unexpected voice in Australian literature. Thomas Vowles is the real deal.’ Sophie Cunningham ‘Enthralling, dark, elegant, sexy, electrifying. This taut debut has it all. Thomas Vowles is a thrilling new voice in Australian fiction.’ Emily Bitto
