Malone's powerful novel tells the story of the Irish Civil War and the execution of seven IRA men for illegal possession of arms. At the same time, four Kerry volunteers sentenced to death for identical offences are pardoned after undertaking to make their peace with the new government. The prisoners' last six days unfold through the eyes of one of the condemned men, Stephen `Chalky' White as he awaits his execution, while his mother, at her home in Kildare patiently waits for news of her son's fate. This is a book that brings to life the impact that the Civil War had on the Irish people and the divisions that left their small communities scarred for decades.

Genre Fiction

New Island Books

<p>In this collection of short stories, Martin Malone explores the hidden world behind the front door of family life and the secret world behind the public face. From a young boy adjusting to a new world among relatives in 1970s Wales, to a man and his partner adjusting to a darker Ireland filled with unemployment, health scares, and only dreams of a better future. Malone brings the reader deep inside the minds and lives of his characters. In intimate prose and illuminating detail, Malone displays his skills as a master of setting and description. Driven by Malone's ability to empathize and understand even the most extreme of minds, the stories bring twists, humor, and sadness in vivid and gripping prose.</p>

Deadly Confederacies

Short Stories & Anthologies

In this play, three young men wake up in an isolated house on the edge of the city. Outside is a heavy snowfall; inside, the men gradually come to realize they have no food, no heat, and the pipes are frozen. Not only are they snowbound but all the doors of the house are locked and can't be broken down. Part psychological thriller, part ghost story, this is a modern tale, full of tension and mystery. It questions contemporary Ireland and the current lost generation of young men who find themselves trapped by the expectations of society, family, women, and self.
