Mad scientists, supernatural dangers, and a series of all-too-human challenges will confront two unlikely heroes in The Clockwork Girl, an unforgettable journey into the farthest reaches of the imagination. Tesla, a mechanical girl brought to life by her Victor Frankenstein-like creator, faces a wall of fear, intolerance, and superstition in her steam-shrouded castle—but when she discovers a friend in Huxley, a mutant boy from the circus sideshow, then the pair of outcasts will finally learn what it is to be human. The award-winning Clockwork Girl comic books, now in an enthralling graphic novel compendium perfect for fans of Scott Pilgrim, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Marvel Comics’ The Wizard of Oz, is a one-of-a-kind paranormal tale of steampunk science, breathless suspense, and riveting adventure.

Sean O'Reilly's debut novel is a journey inside the dark psyche of Niall, a young man on the run from the past and denying himself a future. Arriving in Derry, years after he left for a wandering life, Niall finds that very little has changed. The streets are still blighted by sectarian violence and the grubby pubs still cater for the lost and lonely. Just as his memories, fears or desires threaten to consume him, Niall enters into a complicated relationship, with Lorna, a committed socialist with a dark side of her own. Haunted by a past that only gradually gives up its secrets and insensate for most of the time through a cocktail of booze and drugs. Niall lives his life to extremes, testing and pushing himself ever closer to destruction. Love and Sleep confirms O'Reilly's rising reputation as a writer of rare lyrical power and urgency.

Faber and Faber

Sean O'Reilly's characters inhabit a world that can seem dangerously indifferent to human feeling but alive to the thrills of living on the edge. Unnecessary risks are taken which are punished, not obscured, by family; dangerous brothers and traditional, hardened fathers wield power, usually with brutality. The stories in what was O'Reilly's debut collection present us with a harsh and unsentimental view of the mundane, underscored by moments of great beauty, humour and pathos.

When Owen Sheers discovers a book in his father's study he stumbles upon the life of an obscure relative: Arthur Cripps, lyric poet and maverick missionary to Rhodesia. Compelled by the description of Cripps' extraordinary life in Africa, Sheers embarks on a journey through contemporary Zimbabwe in an attempt to better understand his ancestor's devotion to the country and its people and the dramatic, often bloody, differences that echo across the years.Arriving in Africa at the turn of the last century, Cripps establishes his own mission at Maronda Mashanu; the neighbouring European community soon grow suspicious of Cripps' unorthodox methods, and conflict with the British South Africa Company ensues.Better understood by the Africans he lives with, Cripps devotes his life to defending their interests, walking and running for miles between settlements and serving as a chaplain in East Africa in the First World War. The Shona community name him Mpandi, 'The man who walks like thunder', and when Cripps dies, fifty years after his arrival in his adopted country, he is honoured at his funeral with the burial songs of a Shona chief.

Can he take the chance or will it be the excessive street-poet Fada who, by tempting him back into the violence of his past, will determine his future?All the while the face of a young woman pulled from the Liffey haunts his mind and awakens an ancient rage in his gut.

Swing of Things

Sean O’Reilly’s debut novel is a journey into the dark and uncomfortable psyche of Niall, a young man on the run from the past and denying himself a future. In the nineties, soon after the first IRA cease-fire has ended, Niall returns to the damaged city of his youth after years of wandering around Europe—from city to city and woman to woman. His family has fractured, and Niall’s failure to show up at his father’s funeral has encouraged a bitter response. Just as his memories, fears, and desires threaten to consume him, Niall enters into a dangerous relationship with Lorna, a committed socialist with a dark side of her own. Love and Sleep introduces a new and strikingly original voice in post-Troubles Irish fiction.
