Hello Mr. Bones & Goodbye Mr. Rat
Hello Mr. Bones & Goodbye Mr. Rat | Patrick McCabe
1 post | 1 read
In Hello Mr. Bones two damaged souls have--thanks to each other's love--turned their lives around. But as London's weather takes a turn for the worse, so do their fates, and raw evil runs riot the night of the impossible hurricane. Goodbye Mr. Rat centers around the spirit of an IRA bomber watching over his ex-lover as she takes his ashes back to his rural hometown. This girl from northern Indiana may not be ready for rural Ireland, yet the townsfolk of Iron Valley certainly have plans for her. In this stark, blackly humorous story, McCabe writes like M. R. James if he took a wrong turn onto an Irish country road.

Starting this Irish literature book today. It‘s got two, creepy, supernatural short stories in it.

The 1st is about a couple of disturbed ppl who find love. But as the weather changes for the drearier, their fates take a nasty turn.

The 2nd is about a gal from Indiana who takes her BF‘s ashes back to his hometown in Ireland, where she‘s not quite wanted. All the while, his spirit watches over her.
