Publisher's Synopsis
An ocean away from Badwater is the frozen wave, before it a ship of desperate souls. A butcher. And a girl.
From Malki Press comes a grim fable of survival, cruelty, hope and how to properly preserve longpig. A Badwater story.
"Dark and disturbing. The sense of dread and foreboding seeps through its very core."
--James McCulloch, writer of CITY OF LOST SOULS.
"But God Made Hell by Stephen Toman, published by @malkipress is a new novella, the second in a trilogy, charting the journeying of a shipwrecked crew split up by suddenly frozen seas and unpredictable melts, some of them travelling alone, others in teams, and their unsparing human resourcefulness in the face of an expansive, alien wilderness, where their lives lie beyond the reach of human laws --- beyond justice, beyond judgment, beyond reason. This tale carries critical undercurrents that attack imperialist expansionism and climate change, not least by the topological violence of the strangely active landscape which threatens the wanderers and ship's crew. 4.5/5
Recommended to readers of controlled and spare speculative fiction and weird literature, such as CamillaGrudova, HanKang and JeffVanderMeer."
--Hedera Felix, publisher of weird fiction.
