SPELL MAFFIA a graphic novel by John Lee and Denise O’Moore
They thought there was only one “F” in Mafia
Meet Jack Kelly. It is seven thirty in the evening. It is mid-March. He is in the middle of a rapidly darkening forest. He can see about ten yards in any direction. And, by the way, he is totally naked. Ten minutes ago he was holding onto his nuts because he was embarrassed; now he's hanging onto them because he's afraid they're going to fall off from the cold. Somewhere close by lurks a Russian gangster with a gun. What else could he have expected when pitching a bunch of weekend witches against the might of the Russian Mafia (Dublin branch)?
A 102-page graphic novel, written by John Lee and illustrated by Denise O’Moore, including the short story “Father Further Investigates... The Devil in Dingle”, for € 9.95 or UK£ 6.95
LOST NOTES by David Murphy.
202 pages, €14.95 - UK£10.95 - $16.95
plus postage €1.50 - UK£ 1 - $2
"David Murphy is one of the most exciting writers exploring the boundaries of the modern short story in Ireland today. Ignore him at your peril" - Robert Neilson
A sophisticated and startingly diverse collection, told at hypnotic pace. The stories of a cynical yet mysteriously naive voice - the voice of the outsider who remains incredulous when confronted with the absurdities of life.
"There's a subtle, humane quality... a sense that the author really is using his imagination and going beyond the obvious... a particularly fine performance."
Paul Beardsley reviewing The Mirror Cracked in Interzone.
As a special for our on-line readers, you can read one of the stories from this excellent collection here: “Broken Heroes”.
THE HAND THAT TAKES by Paul Harland.
264 pages, €13.95 - UK£8.95 - $ 14.95
plus postage €1.50 - UK£ 1 - $2
A wrenching portrait of loss and a brilliantly inventive adventure, The Hand That Takes showcases Dutch author Paul Harland to an international audience.
"A stylish post-cyberpunk thriller from a Dutch writer of great promise... "Harland is quite clearly a writer of power and ideas." - Andy Sawyer
Especially for our on-line readers, you can read an excerpt of this exceptional novel here.
THIS WAY UP by Dermot Ryan & Nigel Quinlan.
176 pages, €11.99 - UK£ 7.99 - $12.99
plus postage €1.50 - UK£ 1 - $2
A new collection by two Irish authors "brimming with attitude". Whether it's a Dublin hospital during Ragnarok or the Tree of Life in a back bedroom, their stories take place in that shimmering territory where Dublin (and even Limerick) touch the Infinite.
"The stories are variously offbeat, strange, disturbing and touching by turn, where the fantastic and the mundane slide across each other as in the works of the great Flann O'Brien (Myles na Gopaleen) and James Joyce, but also tinged with elements of Borges and Gaiman. " - Vector
"The combination of Quinlan’s hallucinatory weirdness and Ryan’s poignant empathy works very well indeed". The Alien On-Line
Our on-line readers can read one of Nigel Quinlan’s stories from this fine collection here: “Java”. And because this IS a two-author collection, you can also read one of Dermot Ryan’s stories: “The Burnished Egg”.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity. -- Christopher Morley
