“An electrifying debut novel, as thoughtful as it is harrowing. […] All Hookers Go to Heaven is a distinctly innovative addition to the canon of sex-work fiction and represents a breadth of experiences and personalities. The narrative treats them with unrelenting tenderness and fascinating development. Each character is painstakingly crafted in a way that sex workers in fiction rarely seem to be. Written in meditative and candid prose, All Hookers Go to Heaven is a gutsy, erotic, and staunchly anticapitalist novel.”—Shelf Awareness“An impressively sharp, beautifully written first novel—it would be an impressively sharp and beautifully written second, third, or fourth novel too for the record—but the fact that Angel B.H. can come right out the gate with such a defined and clean authorial voice is a feat worth noting. Her work has insight and stories to offer both seasoned sex workers and those who have never stepped foot in a Pleaser alike.”—Noelle Perdue, Xtra Magazine“A very needed entry into the world of literature, where sex work is respected as a job, and the people who do it are portrayed in all the dizzying complexities that other groups are allowed… There is a lot of joy in this novel.”—Alison Manley, The Miramichi Review"I've been waiting years for a novel like this! A funny, moving, superbly written coming-of-hooker-age story that holds nothing back. Mag is one of the best protagonists you'll never forget, and this book is filled with angels."—Casey Plett, author of A Dream of a Woman"Over the past decade, sex worker-authored memoir has gotten a stiletto-heeled foot in the door of literary nonfiction. Portrayals of sex workers in fiction, however, remain caught somewhere in between X-rated versions of the manic pixie dream girl and convenient victim tropes. Angel B.H.'s All Hookers Go To Heaven transcends these tropes through her nimble and refreshing storytelling. Mag’s story is as harrowing as it is true-to-life. And she’s as multidimensional as every sex worker character should rightfully be."—Amber Dawn, author of Sodom Road Exit"All Hookers Go To Heaven is the dazzling debut of a powerful, haunting, and unforgettable voice in literary fiction. At once fearless and tender, this book is a sex worker heroine's journey that shimmers with beauty, longing, fierce intelligence, emotional complexity, and bursts of wry humor. At the heart of this deeply absorbing novel is an unforgettable protagonist whose search for the sacred within herself in a world that routinely dehumanizes and devalues sex workers is sure to linger in readers' hearts. Angel B.H. has given us all a gift with this book."—Kai Cheng Thom, author of I Hope We Choose Love: A Trans Girl's Notes from the End of the World
