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 until only one is left in this provocative, twisted, and incendiary thriller for our time.
"The protagonist's worldview may be toxic to many," warns Kirkus Reviews, "but satisfying twists await readers able to make it through. A morally ambiguous, serpentine, character-driven puzzle."
Once the notorious playboy of L.A.'s literary scene-celebrated for his buzzy, controversial bestsellers-Adam 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 remains. And his last hope of escape lies in that new novel he's finally writing.
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, by the award-winning author of Family of Shadows, Garin K. Hovannisian.
