      'Surprising and uncanny, funny and transgressive' Irish Times'A unique imagination, a brilliant debut' Kevin Barry'Jaw-droppingly good' Sinead GleesonA brilliant literary debut - a short story collection for readers that love Daisy Johnson, Angela Carter, Shirley Jackson or Lydia Davis

      There once was ...

      a woman who loved her husband''s cock so much that she began taking it to work in her lunchbox.

      a man who made films without a camera, which transfixed his estranged daughter.

      a couple who administered electric shocks to each other, to be reminded of what love is.

      a world where you wake up one day and notice that, one by one, people are turning blue

      Startling, wry, beguiling and emotionally charged - the stories in Modern Times might be reminiscent of Lydia Davis, Angela Carter and Daisy Johnson, but they are also unlike anything you''ve read before.
