The breathtakingly original reimagining of the classic Moby Dick story – with wit, grand adventure and queer romance. Here a small band ventures into deep space to hunt a mysterious leviathan. Great riches are at stake – but some might lose their lives, and their hearts, in the process.
Bold, queer and utterly thrilling, Hell's Heart is a speculative retelling of Herman Melville's classic, Moby Dick. From bestselling author of Boyfriend Material, Alexis Hall.
They are monsters. They are legends.
And they are our prey.
Earth is dead. Which leaves us stuck living in atmospheric domes on planets that will kill us if we blink wrong, or run out of fuel. And by ‘fuel’ I mean cerebrospinal fluid, harvested at great risk from gargantuan space monsters.
I joined the hunt hoping to get paid and maybe laid, but mostly paid. And I followed a charismatic captain eager to face these beasts and to howl her defiance across the skies of Jupiter. On her crew, I met Q, a woman from the wreck of old Earth, who might have kept me grounded. Or then again, perhaps not.
We were ordered to hunt the greatest leviathan of all, and we fought beasts and ships and one another. Then we finally met our nemesis, there above the red heart of that world. Spoiler: it didn’t end well.
‘Moby Dick meets Treasure Planet by way of Fleabag – an unbelievable accomplishment from a tremendous author’
- Sarah Gailey, author of Spread Me and Just Like Home
‘Hall’s best, weirdest, and most snarkily delightful book yet . . . intricate perfection’
- Ruthanna Emrys, author of A Half-Built Garden
‘Wow’
- John Scalzi, author of Starter Villain

Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in their purse, and nothing particular to interest them on shore, Alexis Hall thought they would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. Unfortunately the boat they were in sank with all hands, and they were rescued only by a passing whaler. They have since become a novelist.
