In Room Little Darker, June Caldwell’s debut collection of short stories, the truth of modern life is stripped, hosed down, and laid on a slab. Room Little Darker rips through the country, its eye close and unswerving. The writing is exquisite in its detail but there is little for Fáilte Ireland to mine from its pages. It’s all back bedrooms and alleyways and grimy white vans on sinister Dublin streets. He takes his own blood pressure.’Room Little Darker is inventive, graphic and alarming.
