Unity Books in Conversation With Noelle McCarthy

We're beyond thrilled to be hosting the one and only Noelle McCarthy, the author who made waves with her stand-out memoir, Grand. Now McCarthy has returned with a follow-up to that - . This time, she explores the Gothic novel Dracula and uses it to "reckon with her own history and a changing world: generation-spanning shame and trauma given voice by #MeToo and the horrors emerging from Irish soil.

More than a century after readers were first mesmerised by Dracula, Stakes transposes its electric themes of transgression, intoxication and sexual danger onto Noelle’s own life, asking: what’s the difference between an inheritance and a curse?".

It's a celebration of the power of a Gothic horror to help you face the parts of life that scare you most.
