Description: Edited by Ed Gorman, Larry Segriff and Martin H. Greenberg, this is a collection of the dark side of Irish writings. This 596 page hardback titled Murder Most Irish was published in 1996. From the DJ we read, "There are two sides to the Irish soul, the light and the dark. The light side includes the sentimental poems and ballads of Irish literature; the legendary sing-alongs in taverns; and, of course, the wicked Irish wit. The dark side includes a black melancholy, mayhem, and bloody murder. Murder Most Irish is an excellent collection of seventeen examples of this dark side. The range of settings in this magnificent book puts all of Ireland on display. Two of the twentieth century's greatest writers, James Joyce and Sean O'Faolain, show us an Ireland of a different era; Mary Ryan and Michael Jahn use Irish tradition to illuminate the psychological dimensions of their stories; and contemporary masters such as Edgar Award-winner Clark Howard, Bill Crider, and Wendi Lee give us snapshots from the Ireland of today. Besides these classic stories, Murder Most Irish includes two full-length novels, John Brady's A Stone of the Heart and Ann C. Fallon's Blood is Thicker. Both writers are major figures; in fact, Brady and Fallon have been called, respectively, the 'Simenon' and 'Agatha Christie' of Ireland. These novels complement each other perfectly. Brady's exposes the darkness at the heart of a contemporary urban Ireland, while Fallon's is a novel of suspense set in a small Irish town. Expect to learn many things about Ireland from Murder Most Irish, but most of all expect to be entertained. The fifteen stories and two novels that make up Murder Most Irish is Irish storytelling at its best." Some great Irish stuff!!!!!
