Some Hellish - Nicholas Herring

Winner, Atwood Gibson Writers' Trust Fiction Prize

"Brilliant and moving, Some Hellish  tears a hole between the ordinary and the fantastic, the sacred and the profane. It is uncomfortable, sometimes painful, but also startling and beautiful to have things opened up like that, to see right through." - Johanna Skibsrud, Author of Island

"Any novel that combines Tibetan monks and PEI lobster boats is fine by me. Some Hellish achieves a surprising and wonderful balance: bawdy and spiritual in the same moments. There is mondo drinking, prodigious and inventive cursing, devilish humour, and serious literary chops. Some Hellish is irreverent and screwball and it's inspired writing."  - Mark Anthony Jarman, author of Touch Anywhere to Begin
