Queer, horny, gory, fantastical stories that gave me serious writer
envy
*Kirsty Logan, author of NOW SHE IS WITCH*
One of my favourite storytellers. 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. Merging
fantasy and queer fiction is the very stuffing of this work, where
ancient mythical queens roam ancient hills, keeping watch over
their respective territories, lovers eat each other (not
figuratively speaking but literally - like oysters), there are
monsters hiding in unlikely places and flowers fall from the
sky.
*Meath Chronicle*
Lest ye ever be in doubt about the power of language, take a spin
through Eyes Guts Throat Bones, Moira Fowley's visceral collection
of short stories "about (queer, female) bodies at the end of the
world"
*Buzz Magazine*
Fowley's writing is joyous and poetic
*Mslexia*
'Fowley's themes of sex, desire and destruction are presented,
often skillfully, using a wide variety of genre fiction tropes, and
with an adult clarity and viscerality'
*The Guardian*
