Hell or High Winter is a contemporary, urban reimagining of the myth of Hermes and Persephone. A supernatural action/adventure with sharp wit and a deep soul. Over the Ages, gods and goddesses have come in and out of fashion. Each deity struggles to cope with their dwindling popularity. Some fade into oblivion, refusing to answer the desperate prayers of mortals as they establish a new identity beneath the stars. Others spend the millennia waiting by the proverbial phone...desperate to be called into service. Hermes and his godly cohorts confront a new challenge—how to survive without constant worship and adoration. It may just be that even mystical beings can become addicted...gods and goddesses are junkies for the thrill of controlling a mortal's fate. In the digital age of the 21st Century, what the hell is Hermes, Messenger of the Gods, to do? ...Because no one is listening.
"I loved Andrew Rubin's witty, imaginative, thrillingly inventive comic novel, a panoramic joyride through the religious omniverse. Read it or be cursed by every kind of God." —Simon Rich
"Hell or High Winter is a crazy delight of a book, a rollicking comedic and thrilling fantasy with gods and goddesses and regular people tied together in a kind of Rube Goldberg adventure, told at rocket speed by a very, very clever writer. A terrifically funny romp, and if escapism is what you need, jump into this book now." —Bonnie MacBird, author of the Sherlock Holmes Adventure series
"Richly imagined, and highly (highly) irreverent, Rubin's action-packed take on gods' searching for meaning in the modern era is as much an exploration of faith as it is a coming-of-age story that wears its heart on its filthy winged Converse."—Christina Hammonds Reed, New York Times bestselling author of The Black Kids
