‘What a book. Absolutely marvellous’

Cillian Murphy

‘Just when you think it’s impossible for Ireland to deliver another distinctive voice, another rollicking, playful yet elegant exploration of the deeper myths and traditions that govern life… along comes a tour de force by Danny Denton… one of the best Irish novels to come along in a long time’

David Means, Booker-shortlisted author of Hystopia

‘Stunning… a work of dancing brutality and ferocious tenderness’

Lisa McInerney, Baileys-winning author of The Glorious Heresies

 ‘A great, imaginative cloudburst. Torrential in theme and execution. A mighty debut’

Mike McCormack, Booker-longlisted author of The Solar Bones

‘Teeming… heart-breaking… blackly funny and brilliant’

Gavin Corbett, author of Green Glowing Skull

‘In any Irish apocalypse the world must end in rain. Danny Denton’s debut is a moody, playful and plaintive ballad from the ancient future’ Colin Barrett, author of Young Skins
