Getting the Electric

Are you ready to play?

Have you ever found yourself doom-scrolling, worrying about that weird pain in your leg, only to have your plans for the day completely trashed by the appearance of a literal axe-wielding troll?

What about that time you came across a perfect double of yourself in the street?

Or the gorilla suit you put on one day only for it to fuse with your skin?

When those children went missing from your village, did you know for sure it was the electricity that took them?

And down in the basement of your ancestral family home, what is it that’s making that THUMP . . . THUMP . . . THUMP . . .

Bold, funny, and wild, Louise Hegarty’s debut collection will turn you upside down and inside out, if it doesn’t take you apart completely.
