Nothing On Earth

Strange, beautiful and quietly terrifying

Donal Ryan, author of THE SPINNING HEART

A stunning, haunting, thrilling and unsettling story

The Argus

[A] subtly chilling story. . . leaves the reader with an uncomfortable sense of trepidation

Pure M Magazine

An original story, brilliantly told . . . extraordinary, low-key and pitch-perfect

Irish Times

Ominous and fearful . . . this striking debut is a psychological chiller that cleverly resonates with modern concerns

Scotland Herald

Utterly compelling

Irish Farmer’s Journal

Hauntingly beautiful

Sunday Business Post

Beautifully written and carefully crafted

Hot Press

A total curveball, Conor O’Callaghan’s book is extraordinary

RICK O'SHEA, RTE Radio 1

This one will stay with you like your shadow, as hard to shake off and as impossible to pin down.

Guardian

. . . extremely self-assured . . . a haunting debut with subtle horror tones . . . backed by O’Callaghan’s remarkable writing prowess

Culturefly

Strange and beguiling . . . very well written, conjuring up a weird listless world

Irish Examiner

Quite extraordinary . . . like many great works, it could so easily have all gone wrong if it hadn’t been done exactly right. All that can be done is to give it the highest recommendation: read it, and find out for yourself

Sunday Independent

I greatly admired Conor O'Callaghan's Nothing on Earth, as fine as it is frightening

John Banville

A very contemporary slice of gothic

Justine Jordan

O’Callaghan’s stylish, dark yarn triumphs through the clarity of his prose and confident handling of ambivalence at its most menacing

Eileen Battersby

Brilliant and disturbing...The challenge of making Irish Gothic contemporary has just been met superbly

Jarlath Killeen, Irish Times Book Club

[P]owerfully haunting . . . horror of the most resonant kind . . . Nothing on Earth is less than two hundred pages long, yet its implications and reverberations carry more weight than many novels three times its length.
