“the most arresting and original writer to emerge from these islands in years”
— Irvine Welsh

A new book from the. A kiss that just won't happen. A disco at the end of the world. A teenage goth on a terror mission. And OAP kiddie-snatchers, scouse real-ale enthusiasts, and occult weirdness in the backwoods. Dark Lies the Island is a collection of unpredictable stories about love and cruelty, crimes, desperation, and hope from the man. Every page is shot through with the riotous humour, sympathy and blistering language that mark Kevin Barry as a pure entertainer and a unique teller of tales.
