In the belly of Hungus is the Mantis: an amorphous, many-faced being, as fluid and full of history as the moana. Through this elusive entity, Hungus tells stories of addiction that settle like a film on tea, that crawl into the home, that devour us from the inside out.

Enjoyed revealing a little about how the cover for @erikkennedy.com’s Sick Power Trip came together for the @christchurchlib.bsky.social blog. Erik’s collection was one of my highlights from @thwupbooks.bsky.social this year.
