Oein de Bhairduin and Órhflaith Foyle

Oein de Bhairduin reads from his new book Twiggy Women (Skein Press), an exuberant, earthy and mysterious folklore based short story collection which reflects the depth, dignity, and some of the challenges of Traveller experience In Ireland. Orhflaith Foyle will be reading from Three Houses in Rome (Doire Press), her graphically poetic, wise, and psychologically intense new short story collection.

Readings will be followed by discussion and Q&A.

‘Foyle writes marvellously off-kilter, wry and utterly absorbing tales’ – Elain Feeney

‘Good horror is felt in the body, and this gorgeous collection of stories sends a very welcome chill down my spine. Haunting and heartfelt, grounded in captivating tradition, and delivered with a graceful and lyrical warmth, Twiggy Woman is a deliciously creepy read.’ – Dave Rudden
