Hate the Sin: A Brutal Lovecraftian Horror Novel Set in Liberia

★★★★★ "The frantic aspect of the novel is the reality it carries; honestly brutal and brutally honest, Dereschuk's Hate the sin is violent, moving and purely compelling, with fleshed-out characters and engaging writing style." [NetGalley, Sophie Giannousiou]

They don't remember their real names anymore.

Most of these boys are only thirteen, but they already know what it's like to kill. They think they know the true horrors. That the civil war in their small African country is the only hell there is. And that the people who give them orders are the only real monsters in this world.

But beneath their hell lies another - with monsters older than time itself. And when the boys' raid on a nearby village invokes the wrath of its priestess the beasts that used to hunt on sunless plains come out to answer her cry for revenge... And they don't care if their prey is guilty or not.

In their undead eyes, everybody's the sinner.

Warning: the book contains graphic violence, drug usage, strong language, and hints of sexual violence.
