When Bluebottle runs away from a religious institution to live on the streets of Dublin, he is taken in by Malcolm, an ageing sensualist with a penchant for younger boys. But lust soon turns into full-blown sexual obsession. There follows the first of a series of increasingly violent encounters which lead relentlessly to disfigurement and bloody murder. Besides this brutal attack, there are beatings, betrayals, perverse and illicit desires, and even a disfigurement, the Judas Kiss of the title. Dark territory indeed. The Judas Kiss is dark tale, relieved throughout not only by a pervasive black humour, but by the emergence of love in all its various guises. This is ‘cult’ fiction at its finest.

The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
