“Declan Burke is his own genre. The Lammisters dazzles, beguiles and transcends. Virtuoso from start to finish.” – Eoin McNamee“This bourbon-smooth riot of jazz-age excess, high satire and Wodehouse flamboyance is a pitch-perfect bullseye of comic brilliance.” – Irish Independent Books of the Year 2019 “This rapid-fire novel deserves a place on any bookshelf that grants asylum to PG Wodehouse, Flann O’Brien or Kyril Bonfiglioli.” – Eoin Colfer, Guardian Best Books of the Year 2019“The funniest book of the year.” – Sunday Independent“Declan Burke is one funny bastard. The Lammisters ... conducts a forensic analysis on the anatomy of a story.” – Liz Nugent “Burke’s exuberant prose takes centre stage … He plays with language like a jazz soloist stretching the boundaries of musical theory.” – Totally Dublin “A mega-meta smorgasbord of inventive language ... linguistic verve not just on every page but every line.” – Irish Times “Above all, The Lammisters gives the impression of a writer enjoying himself. And so, dear reader, should you.” – Sunday Times “A triumph of absurdity, which burlesques the literary canon from Shakespeare, Pope and Austen to Flann O’Brien … The Lammisters is very clever indeed.” – The Guardian

The Devil Has All The Best Toons
We’ve had crime fiction novels and short stories here at CAP Towers, and we’ve even had crime fiction poetry courtesy of Colm Keegan, but crime fiction funnies? We like Eolaí at American Hell, people …
Why thank you very much. I'd add something to display my taser-like wit, only it's a national holiday and I need to defrost the meat for the dinner. Cheers!

Tazer-like wit? And go showing us up where we live? Stick to the toons, sir, or we'll sic Gerard Brennan on you. He's from Norn Iron, y'know ...
I fell upon eolai's scribblings before, even submitted a few names which had the honour of being included in his drawings.
Ah tis a small t'interweb all the same.
