To read the work of Elle Nash is to be restored to faith in the wildness, wetness, and visceral power of contemporary American fiction. Deliver Me is a barbed liturgy of bugs, babies, meat, the gospel, women lusting women, women lusting men, and the human body. Get saved -- Melissa Broder, author of Milk Fed and Death Valley Deliver Me is pure jaw-dropping horror while also serving up a piercing insight into the control of women's bodies and the expectations placed upon them. Mixing single-minded maternal desire with religion in the deep south, Nash's ending is one you will never forget * Stylist * Nash takes no prisoners in this visceral slice of body horror that mixes up pregnancy, poverty and Pentecostalism. It's a hot mess of a novel coolly rendered. Which just makes the horror of it cut even deeper * Herald (Top 10 Summer Reads) * Almost certainly one of the most visceral books of the year... Deliver Me is a bold book, and not for the squeamish, but those who can make it to the end will find that it's wormed its way into their brains, and once there is hard to dislodge -- Herald A gruesome body horror... I read it in two days flat... The squeamish need not apply - the braver of you should tuck in * Spectator (Books of the Year 2023) *
