Printed: 72 pages, 6" x 9", perfect binding, black and white interior ink Description:From Night’s Dark Corner is a play (in three parts) based upon the classic, award winning poem Lost by Patrick McManus, written in the aftermath of 9/11. The play sets before us an outrageous scenario, a scene where the fantastic takes place around an old eerie church on the Irish coast during a Christmas midnight mass. The play confronts a number of issues, such as chauvinism and tyranny, the importance of human rights, the reek of religious hypocrisy and bigotry, fundamentalism and downright dirty politics.

i have never read a book like this, it is so in your face, so right bold and it is wrong to talk about people in really good jobs that a worth while, but when it came down to it made me laugh so dame much. well done to this WOMEN EMMA LAFFIN. I CAN'T WAIT FOR PART TWO AND PART THREE IF THE FIRST ONE ANYTHING TO GO BY. FROM CLAIRE
This is a play unlike any I have ever read before. It is so strange and enigmatic and in some ways it reminds me of David Lynch, Sylvia Plath and a touch of Arthur Miller. There is no doubt here that Emma Laffin is a future star and I'm really looking forward to book two and three. The only downside to this book is that it ended: I really wanted the story to go on and on and on and never stop...there is something addictive about the way this woman writes, the characters are expertly drawn out and the humor and tension is well balanced. A true classic.
