Ciarán West is the Limerick-born author of The Boys of Summer, Sweetness Follows, Girl Afraid, A Certain Romance, and the new novel, More than Words

Remember Stephen King’s IT? How about Stephen King’s ‘TIS?

Hey! Here are the first three chapters of my my new novel. It’s Irish (again) it’s kids (again!) and it’s set in the past (agaaaaaain!). I’m very aware that The Boys of Summer gets an enormous amount of “It’s a bit like Stand By Me/The Body” comments, and I’m cool with that. I literally wrote […]

“Ah, yeah. Yeah, tis awful all right. Well, your Mam wanted me to talk to you about it, but…’
He stopped; he didn’t know what else to say.
‘Yeah? Ah, I know the score, Dad. She wants me to be careful, is it?’
‘Ah, no. Well, yeah; there’s that, of course. No, she wanted… well, if you’d any questions, you
