Description
Winner of the An Post Irish Book Award for Short Story of the Year 2023
'One of my favourite storytellers. These tales lingered, morphed, consumed me'
Kiran Millwood Hargrave
'Queer, horny, gory, fantastical stories that gave me serious writer envy'
Kirsty Logan
The belly-groan of a face unpeeled. A break-up poem recited knee-deep in bog water. An ancient burial mound rising and falling like a chest. The ghost of Stephen Gately reading the ingredients on a ham and cheese sandwich.
Startling, sinister and irresistibly joyful, Moïra Fowley's debut collection Eyes Guts Throat Bones unravels all of our darkest impulses and deepest fears.
'Such a witty, affecting, fresh book: I was deliciously horrified'
Jenn Ashworth
