Summary

What will the end of the world look like?
Will it be an old man slowly turned to gold, flowers raining from the sky, or a hole cut through the wire fencing that keeps the monsters out?
Is it someone you love wearing your face, or a good old fashioned inter-dimensional summoning?
Does it sound like a howl outside the window, or does it look like coming home?
This startling and irresistibly witty collection from the phenomenally talented Moïra Fowley is an exploration of all our darkest impulses and deepest fears。

This is one of the strongest short story collections that I have read in along time。 I became completely enthralled to it。 It is beautifully dark and twisted, filled with Fowley's to make something that seems mundane become something that is absolutely not。 While the books is a collection of horror based shorts, the writing style lends itself to prose, it feels like a very intimate read, like you are witnessing things unbeknownst to the players。 As someone who is part of the LGBTQTIA community, This is one of the strongest short story collections that I have read in along time。 I became completely enthralled to it。 It is beautifully dark and twisted, filled with Fowley's to make something that seems mundane become something that is absolutely not。 While the books is a collection of horror based shorts, the writing style lends itself to prose, it feels like a very intimate read, like you are witnessing things unbeknownst to the players。 As someone who is part of the LGBTQTIA community, it did my heart good to read such strong representation, particularly in older groups。 I've struggled to find stories that are representative to such a level in the past, so for this to satisfy that craving is an absolute pleasure。 The queer elements hit perfectly, never feeling forced or tokenistic。 Fowley beautifully captures the nature of queer love。 Loved the smattering of what is potentially niche Irish humour。。。the ghost of Stephen Gately for example。 More to the point as someone who absolutely hated boyzone growing up, Fowley managed to make it so that I didn't actually mind reading about the ghost of Stephen Gately and his penchant for appearing in somewhat unusual places。 This collection represent an excellent first adult collection from Fowley。 Very much looking forward to seeing what follows。 。。。more

Love, lust and horror at the end of the world。 An extraordinary collection from a beautiful writer。

I liked some of these stories, but some of there were just too horrifying for me and I DNF。 Nothing wrong with the writing which is wonderful, nor the stories which are imaginative。 But I'm not very good with this level of aaaaargh。 But, if you like your horror gruesome, you're going to love this book! So, recommended with provisos。。。 I liked some of these stories, but some of there were just too horrifying for me and I DNF。 Nothing wrong with the writing which is wonderful, nor the stories which are imaginative。 But I'm not very good with this level of aaaaargh。 But, if you like your horror gruesome, you're going to love this book!

Fantastically written poetic, gothic, contemporary, horror short stories。 I've really been having such an itch for sapphic horror recently and this very much scratched it, problem is。。。now I want more。 Features such gorgeous representation of queer love。 I adored so many of these short stories!

The end is nigh! Having abandoned more short story collections than I’ve completed due to them often presenting as unfinished thoughts - Eyes Guts Throat Bones could be one of the best short story collections I’ve ever read。Not only does it speak to queer identity without resulting to tired stereotypes but there’s a poetic sweetness and love even in tales of monsters, grief and the end of the world。 This one truly was a joy to read and I’d I’m certain that there’s something in here for almost ev The end is nigh!

‘I had always loved watching you eat。 You did it with such abandon, neck arched, eyes half-closed, an almost erotic act。 You loved food, and through your enjoyment I learnt to love it too。’。It’s rare when it happens, but I just need a second to put together my thoughts about what I just finished reading。 Although I’m 100% sure this is a collection of (I could say) horror short stories, it somehow felt like poetry? Like I was reading someone’s most intimate thoughts or entries in a diary, it had ‘I had always loved watching you eat。 You did it with such abandon, neck arched, eyes half-closed, an almost erotic act。 You loved food, and through your enjoyment I learnt to love it too。’。It’s rare when it happens, but I just need a second to put together my thoughts about what I just finished reading。 Although I’m 100% sure this is a collection of (I could say) horror short stories, it somehow felt like poetry? Like I was reading someone’s most intimate thoughts or entries in a diary, it had me blushing at times and almost crying - so beautifully written that it didn’t bother me at all to read about the end of the world or the ghost of Stephen Gately。。Trust me, you need to read it to fully understand my ramblings, I know I’m not making much sense, but you’ll see I’m actually right! I’m kind of in love with the writing style, so you need to fall in love with it too。 。 What would you do if you knew tomorrow will be the end of the world? 。。。more
