Lydia Turner, Broken Frontier:
“At its core, behind all of the unsettling religious imagery, femme-fatale empowerment, and struggles with morality, The Confessional is really a story about just that; a confession and its consequences. How putting your trust in the wrong hands can have deadly consequences. Orville and Cora’s ‘romance’ is a dance of death; manipulative, twisted and emotionally charged. Whilst Cora’s supernatural status should theoretically ensure her dominance and safety, it is mortal Orville who holds her fate in his manipulative hands.
Sensual, grisly and totally unique, The Confessional is a triumph of a debut from Hender, who rightfully takes her place amongst other horror graphic novelists like E. M. Carroll in the gruesome hall of fame.”
