Dark stories, lightly told
St Rage
A novel
A plunge through thin ice sends Violet Tanglewood into a darkly comic otherworld as she battles both a mocking apparition and an unhinged ex to reclaim her life and body.
Hell Springs Eternal
A novel
A sparkling tourist lake suddenly brims with rotting coffins, dragging pariah Rosaline Mornick back to her hometown to confront comic dysfunction and a ghastly secret hidden in plain sight for decades.
Praise for Holley Irvine’s work
“Vivid and often searingly funny.”
-Claire Martin, The Denver Post
“EXCELLENT! Really, really, really fucking good. I lost track of time while reading and also laughed out loud a couple times. The characters are excellent and relatable, the locations are finely rendered, and the overall wordsmithery is first-class.”
-Pablo Kjolseth, Director, International Film Series at CU Boulder (ret.)
