"Stunning." "New York Times Book Review""
"Startlingly original." "Washington Post Book World""
PRAISE FOR Hello Mr. Bones / Goodbye Mr. Rat:
'Stark, fierce, and wonderful . . . McCabe is a master of both the demented narrative and demented narrator. Beneath the ghosts and ghoulies, however, lies a compassionate exploration of the aftermath of psychological damage." --Claire Kilroy, "The Guardian"
"A rewarding experience which sees the master of the Irish gothic genre return to his best form in years." --JP O'Malley, "The Observer"
"Both bits of Hello and Goodbye are exuberant and witty and Goodbye Mr Rat deserves to rekindle his former glories." --Paul Dunn, "The Times"
"McCabe is especially good at conjuring up the menace of psychopaths who perpetrate acts of barbarism under the spurious guise of ideologies." --John Boland, "The Independent"

"Startlingly original." --Washington Post Book World
"Stunning." --New York Times Book Review
"[McCabe] is expert at making the darkest deeds funny, forcing us to laugh at the worst things in the world. He writes like an Irish Lenny Bruce, riffing at warp speed, swerving from one time to another and one place to another and strewing the landscape with allusion . . . and somehow it all makes sense . . . The stories McCabe tells have a terrible beauty. "--The New York Times
