Órfhlaith Foyle Writer

She is the master/mistress of unease. So often these graceful stories presence beside the reader with a stealth that hides the death's head grin at their heart.

-Mike McCormack, author of Solar Bones (Tramp Press)

 

There is so much to savour in these stories: the delicious darkness of Flannery O' Connor and twisted fairytale atmospheres of Angela Carter; the loneliness of Jean Rhys and sass of Grace Paley; add a splash of Kafka and a dollop of Shirley Jackson. and whatever way you mix this heady cocktail, never be in doubt: Órfhlaith Foyle is very much her own writer. These are spellbinding, original, and beautifully strange forays into the imagination. Exceptional.  

Alan McMonagle, author of Laura Cassidy's Walk of Fame (Picador)
