Thank you to the author and Wicked House Publishing for providing a review copy. 

I am always on board for cosmic horror; it's one my favorite subgenres. This book is cosmic horror with heart. It's strange and oddly sweet. A bit of a slow burn, I was utterly fascinated with the characters. Joe Scipione writes some of the most fully fleshed-out, realized characters that I've read. Wicked House is consistently turning out some of the best indie horror I've read, and The Gods Among Them is no exception. Easy 5 stars
