We are delighted to share the cover for a very special project we've been working on for Christmas 2025! An Alternative Irish Christmas is an anthology of stories, in traditional, unusual, extract, and essay form by some of our favourite authors. 1/🧵
We asked everyone to write something for a collection about Christmas in Ireland in the twenty-first century, an alternative to Dickens or 'The Night Before Christmas', something to read that'll make you nod in recognition, flinch in horror or laugh with guilty pleasure! 3/🧵
