A cliche is just one of the things to look out for while writing. They can slip in unnoticed and ruin an otherwise great paragraph. Then there's the passive voice, accents, misspelling, typos, incorrect data. The list is long.
An invigorating debut… ingenious in the way it takes the toxic masculinity theme of The Handmaid’s Tale and flips it on its head.” Women run all the facilities and government, there are also women running all the facilities and centres, women caring for the men in those centres. Yet the world keeps turning, there are men being born though very few. Women are encouraged to “visit” with the men in the facilities and are rewarded if a child is borne from such a visit. I was looking for a read that hadn't been read by everyone else and didn't have a huge hype surrounding it, lest I be met with the disappointment of it not living up to my expectations.

Sometimes writers get so involved in the plot they can't see the wood for the trees. Hang on a sec'--that's a cliche and it's better to remove it.Exploring male violence against women, homo-normativity, and gynocracy, Moths is a powerful assessment of life through the lens of a main character in her 70s. A remastered and revitalised version of the previously self-published, smash-hit dystopian thriller by the same name, Moths shows us a new, post-pandemic world. Rating 3.5) —- I’ve read a lot of feminist dystopian books and books were the gender roles have been reversed and lately I’ve found it hard to find one with a unique concept but the premise of this book is really unique and like nothing I had read before. It turns out that the internet is very difficult to reboot once all the servers across the world have gone offline so that is also gone. Forty years ago, the world changed in Jane Hennigan’s Moths. Toxic threads left behind by mutated moths infected men and boys around the globe. Some were killed quietly in their sleep, others became crazed killers, wildly dangerous and beyond help. All seemed hopeless. But humanity adapted, healed and moved on. Definitely not for the squeamish as there is some content likely to upset those with a sensitive heart. In other words, there is colourful content aplenty. But then again, the world’s going to hell, and society is falling down everywhere you look, so what on earth do you expect. Some images will linger long in the memory. I have read and listened to some of the best horror books around ( Weaveworld being one of my all-time favourite books). I can honestly say Moths ranks up there with the best of them for chills down the spine. The graphic imagery is something that will stay with me for a long time.
Mary has settled into this new world and takes care of the male residents at her facility. But she still remembers how things used to be and is constantly haunted by her memories. Of her family, of her joy, of… him. The concept of the book is fantastic, especially with the current (and historic) issues surrounding gender based violence which often pose the question, 'what would a world without our male counterparts look like?'.
Set 40 years after a devastating toxin infects all men and boys, new dystopian thriller Moths shows a world run by women. We sat down with author Jane Hennigan to find out more…
