Product Description
by Garin K. Hovannisian (Author)
Six men are seduced to a remote Greek island colonized by women and ruled by a masked monarch called the Queen. Summoned to meet her one by one, the men disappear in this provocative, politically incorrect thriller recalling American Psycho and Fight Club, from the award-winning author of Family of Shadows, Garin K. Hovannisian.
"On behalf of the Hive, I reclaim the life you have taken from us..."
Once the notorious playboy of L.A.'s literary scene-celebrated for his buzzy, controversial bestsellers-our author has lost his luster. Blacklisted by publishers and haunted by #MeToo accusations, he has quit writing, taken a teaching job, and settled into a dead-end marriage. But a black envelope, carrying an invitation to a mysterious creative residency, offers him one final chance to recover his voice and manhood-and to write his buzziest novel yet.
So begins an electric literary mystery about six men who have been lured to the Hive, a private island run by women and ruled by a diabolical matriarch. Invited to unmask the Queen, the men disappear, until only one man remains. And his last hope to escape lies in that new novel he's finally writing-the one you are about to read.
Hive is equal parts horror, Greek tragedy, and cutting social commentary, wrapped in a spellbinding psychological fever dream that won't be easy to wake up from.
