These tales lingered, morphed, consumed me * Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of THE MERCIES * Such a witty, affecting, fresh book: I was deliciously horrified * Jenn Ashworth, author of GHOSTED * Eyes Guts Throat Bones by Moïra Fowley is exactly the kind of embodied writing I've wanted to read for a long time * Ali Millar, author of THE LAST DAYS * Fowley's delight in the sinister and erotic will no doubt entertain and engage many readers * Guardian * An incredible and unique imagination * Irish Times * Fowley's writing is joyous and poetic . . . Contemporary gothic short stories at their best, Eyes Guts Throat Bones is written so beautifully that even the most squeamish reader would be sucked in by it * Mslexia * Fowley flips the script on what we are used to seeing in apocalyptic fiction and media: a man and a woman navigating their relationship at the end of the world. Instead, we see how queer love is everywhere, pervading even through the most dire of circumstances * Ghouls Magazine * If fantasy is your thing, you'll like this book. If 'queer fiction' is also your thing, then you'll definitely like this book.
