There’s something always captivating about spirits, gods, and magic lying in wait—and that’s true in the imagination as much as it is in lived reality. The sources of such, too, are both local and international: here, a popular fantaserye has earned a revival, while early to mid-2000s nostalgia has made itself felt via the newly released screenplay for the eighth Harry Potter story.
Similarly, Eliza Victoria’s Wounded Little Gods (Visprint, 2016) promises the presence of local divinities around us. Set mainly in the fictional town of Heridos, it revolves around Regina who, despite having grown up around stories of the town’s local gods, has always been skeptical about them. But eventually, like Regina, the rest of Heridos forgets about the gods, too.
