Drowning the Hullabaloo Blues

Drowning the Hullabaloo Blues is a blackly funny and hilariously dark novel from one of Ireland's most exciting young writers. Alex was three and a bit when he killed his parents. He didn't mean to. If he'd known that he would end up being adopted by his father's ex-mistress he'd have done things differently. If he'd known that his adopted family included a temperamental artist, a pair of silent twins, a drug-addicted butler called Mister Goodley and the monolithic and incompetent nurse McMurphy, he wouldn't have gone near the Wave Monster at the end of the world. Alex has the Hullabaloo Blues and wants his mum and dad back. All he has to remind him of them is a trunk full of old photographs and Jasper God Walker.
