Description
In this collection of twelve surreal stories, ordinary lives are interrupted by uncanny intrusions—prisoners are pulled from their cells for midnight “video games,” rural guards weigh threats that feel both present and prophetic, and characters receive news that seems to arrive from nowhere. With a forensic eye for motive and meaning, the narratives probe identity and relationships as people confront bizarre systems of control, miscommunication, and suspicion. Blending dark humor with speculative unease, the book echoes the Irish tradition of comic strangeness while also channeling the unsettling logic of science fiction. Across each story, the question isn’t only what happens, but what it reveals about who we are when reality—and the stories we tell ourselves—begin to fracture.
