Description

‘A mesmerisingly powerful book’ SALLY ROONEYIlluminating the lives of outcasts, misfits and malcontents, this is the darkly funny and moving second book from the award-winning author of Young Skins. A quiet night in the neighbourhood pub is shattered by the arrival of a sword-wielding fugitive.

A funeral party teeters on the edge of this world and the next, as ghosts won't settle.

A shooting sees an everyday call-out lead a policewoman to confront the banality of her own existence. In his new collection of stories, Colin Barrett takes us to the barren backwaters of County Mayo, via Canada – always with an eye for the abrupt and absurd. 'Superb... There is so much life in these pages' DOUGLAS STUART'Fierce, tender...unforgettable' BRANDON TAYLOR'Addictive, stylish and violently funny...

Outstanding' KEVIN BARRY
