Jenny Hval announces new novel Girls Against God

Girls Against God will be Hval's second novel, after last year's Paradise Rot.

A description of the novel reads: "A coven of witches curse contemporary Oslo; a group of school girls get lost in a forest; a time-traveling Edvard Munch [the Norwegian painter behind The Scream] appears in 1990s Norway (and joins a death metal band), closely followed by the teen subject of his painting Puberty, who has murder on her mind; awful things happen in aspic. Jenny Hval’s latest novel is a radical fusion of queer feminist theory and experimental horror."

Next year awful things will happen in aspic! https://t.co/zABkapQHox
