“Ireland has produced more than its fair share of talented authors and poets: James Joyce, Patrick Kavanaugh, Austin Clarke, Brendan Behan, William Butler Yeats, and many more. With his stunning debut novel, Lagan Love, Peter Murphy is well on his way to adding his name to that impressive list…. Lagan Love takes the traditional love story and ramps it up several notches, with a supernatural twist that makes it an instant classic. I would highly recommend Lagan Love to anyone who loves supernatural romances, urban fantasies, and great literature in general. I can’t wait to read what Peter Murphy writes next.” -Douglas R. Cobb

A good night's sleep and a renewed effort the next morning gets me through most of it. (less)

The Dogs of War

 

What will we do with the dogs of warwhen all our enemies are dead?

For they’ve been bred to kill and notmuch else.

There will be no turning them back oncethey’ve tasted blood.

They were pups once, gamboling along onbig paws with great floppy ears

But we raised them on a diet of hate

Gnawing the bones of the dead and thebitter water of tears.

What will we do with the dogs of warwhen we have made the pea
