I Want to Know That I Will Be Okay

“Lusciously strange and deeply human, these are stories that linger long after the final sentence. A rich, vibrant and deeply imaginative collection.” Danielle McLaughlin

“As macabre as Roald Dahl at his finest, Deirdre Sullivan’s collection of short stories is an eerie, uncanny thing. Beautiful and haunting in equal measures.” Louise O'Neill

“So dark and deep and visceral and brilliant ... the collection just pulses with mysterious, magical feminine energy. She conveys our power, our complicated route to it and its essential slipperiness.” Marian Keyes

“This is the best short story collection I’ve read in years ... it’s so creepy and funny and strange.” Caroline O'Donoghue

“Sullivan creates a relatable world which – on the surface – looks like ours. But it is filled with short, sharp shocks and bittersweet surprises. Haunted bodies, houses, minds. Such brilliantly skilful storytelling; you barely notice you’re being led into the dark, until it’s too late.” Tara Flynn

“A wonderfully strange and visceral collection, these stories are both exquisite and fantastically unnerving. Sullivan is a uniquely talented writer, who has here woven together uncanny tales of the body, of Ireland, of femaleness, and of the slow and silent degradation so often inherent in human relationships.” Lucy Sweeney Byrne
