Looking for your next great read? Books editor OrnaMulcahy selects the new novels and short stories to read this March:
Orna Mulcahey selects dark, gruesome, grisly tales to delve into this March. Each story unique and definitely worth your time.Seventeen-year-old Mae is leading a spectacular double life in Nicole Flattery’s debut novel. Changing out of her school uniform on the subway, she sashays her way to her job as a typist in a strange tin foil-clad studio where wannabe stars and strung-out friends orbit an artist with bad skin and a whispery voice.
. Deliberately vague on dates and times – the action takes place sometimes in the 1960s, sometimes in the 1970s and sometimes in the 1990s, the reader must grasp the sharp edge of a terrible tale through beautifully spun scenes that make this a little masterpiece. Tom Kettle is a retired policeman living in an annexe to a seaside house in Dalkey, occupied by the occasional ghost.
, a frightening tale for our times. Mira Bunting runs a collective that hijacks disused plots to grow vegetables and fruit to live on and sell. It’s a small scale operation, but the book opens as Mira travels south, having read of a landslide that has left a large farm isolated. It’s perfect for guerrilla gardening on a grand scale that will highlight the work of the collective and the waste of good land. But Mira is not the only one with designs on the farm.
