A literary psychological thriller set in Melbourne's queer scene with the suspense of The Talented Mr Ripley and the gritty emotional landscape of Christos Tsiolkas and Bryan Washington.

Ash has recently arrived in Melbourne and fallen in love with his charismatic friend James. After witnessing a disturbing altercation at a party, Ash suspects that James's mysterious boyfriend is hiding a sinister side. Is he dangerous? Or is Ash's jealousy fuelling paranoid delusions?

A compulsive novel that offers no easy answers, Our New Gods marks the electrifying debut of a major talent. It has an assuredness that reflects Thomas Vowles's success as a screenwriter—the dialogue is sharp, the plot twists are dizzying, and the story will haunt listeners long after the final word.

Love gone wrong

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The author shows promise but has a very naive even prurient perspective on gay sexuality. Gosh! Shock! Horror! The whodunnit is incredibly obvious but, worse, it’s an over-egged pudding. He seems to love his own writing and it’s so thick with metaphor it’s like wading in metaphoric mud. Sometimes you laugh at the over-writing. The reader is competent but too mature for the story. A rather silly book. Better luck next time.
