Spanking Goddess Book Launch 2027

Dublin, IMMA March 16 2027; UK launch Spring 2027; USA launch Oct 2027

The Spanking Goddess & Other Discarded Tales will be  published by New Island Books. Spring 2027.

Irish myths for the 21st century, full of bad-ass deities, feral fighters, unorthodox sex, hairy bodies and goddess-on-goddess battles.

In The Spanking Goddess & Other Discarded Tales, Clare Murphy exhumes the Celtic canon to bring the wild stories that never made the cut, back into the light. A shapeshifter spanks her opponent, twelve fathers raise a girl to be a Fianna captain, a queen balances on the point of a spear, a man uses music and sex to heal a broken soul, heroes are defeated by mother-daughter warriors and a woman is the first person to settle Ireland.

These are not our regular myths. Rather they are subversive tales, not for the fainthearted and definitely for grownups.
