The Black Dreams
An anthology of specially commissioned short stories exploring the weird, surreal, and dream-like. Bringing together some of the best of Northern Ireland's literary talents as well as new and exciting voices, this collection is dark, funny, and unsettling.
Northern Protestants
First published in 2000, 'Northern Protestants - An Unsettled People' was an instant success and is widely recognized as a ground-breaking book. This updated edition includes a new introduction, and provides the backdrop to her new title 'Northern Protestants - 20 Years On'.
My Homeplace Inheritance
Set largely in the 1960s and 70s, Susan Farrell's vivid memoir is a compelling account of what it was like to grow up in rural Armagh, a world rooted in tradition and in the seasons, and still recovering from the impact of the Second World War.Beginning with her grandparents, Susan uses food and family stories in abundance to trace the legacy of that way of life through rationing, the Troubles and the increasing pressures on our connection with seasonal eating and country living.
Northern Protestants
Twenty years on from her controversial and acclaimed book, Northern Protestants: An Unsettled People, Susan McKay takes a fresh look at the Protestant community in Northern Ireland. Based on brand-new interviews, the story is told with McKay's trademark passion and conviction.
The International
Acclaimed Belfast novelist Glenn Patterson's classic novel of a day in the life in that city: a funny, brilliantly observed, bittersweet snapshot of a moment in 1967 just before everything changed. "If I had known history was to be written that Sunday in the International Hotel I might have made an effort to get out of bed before teatime." So begins The International. Danny Hamilton takes us back over three troubled decades to one wonderfully ordinary Saturday, in January 1967, when his 18-year-old self had no idea — most people had no idea — that ordinary days in Belfast would soon become tragically rare. Ordinary, but packed with extraordinarily observed characters; and extraordinary enough for Danny to fall in love twice (and think about sex a few more times than that). Ordinary, but when someone calls out "Be careful" in parting, no one takes it lightly and for good reason. First published in the UK in 1999, and reissued by Blackstaff in 2008, The International is a timeless novel: funny, bawdy, deftly crafted, and heartwrenchingly humane. Featuring an essay “On Reading The International” by Man Booker-Prize winner Anne Enright

Moving about the Place
This new collection of eleven stories by one of Ireland's most important writers brings together the best of Evelyn Conlon's work from the last ten years, and a number of new stories, including a novella-length story. In this collection, Conlon vividly imagines her characters in the wider world, whether it be Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Italy, Monaco or a house, with two drills of vegetables, in Skerries. A man and woman must wander around the equator because of a lie they told during the anti-apartheid days; a man holds out in a border-straddling tree; a Hiroshima woman decides to get pregnant after surviving the bomb; an Irishwoman attempts to assassinate Mussolini, another fights for women's suffrage in Australia. Brilliantly observed, witty, and full of hard-won truths, this collection shows how borders, movement and history can change and transform people's lives.

Stand Up, Speak Out
A frank and fascinating memoir from a Northern Irish peace activist, human rights defender, and former politician who has broken the mold in so many ways - in her work on domestic violence; in her co-founding of the Northern Ireland Women's Coalition; and in her fight for peace and human rights both at home and globally.
