Red Sky in Morning: A Novel Audiobook

Quotes

• “Paul Lynch has a sensational gift for a sentence, inherited from the likes of Cormac McCarthy, Sebastian Barry, and Daniel Woodrell. He is a writer to watch out for, staking a bid for a territory all his own.”

  — Colum McCann, New York Times bestselling author of Let the Great World Spin

  — Colm Toíbín, New York Times bestselling author

• “Lynch’s language, which is musical, close, and alive, evokes something that seems quintessentially Irish…His combination of nightmarish poetry and heart-racing plot is what makes Red Sky in Morning so compelling, like a gorgeous, terrifying ghost story. You’ll want to close your eyes and cover your ears, but find you can’t turn away.”

  — Daily Beast

• “A cracking debut novel. Paul Lynch’s startling, evocative prose veers closer to poetry…This novel is a wonderful achievement.”
