From a review of Little Bridget and The Flames of Hell
Blog Post by Terence Clarke - Jan.08.2013 - 10:59 am
"At times we come across work by an author unknown to us and the impact is so intense that it leaves us wondering why this is a first encounter. Terence Clarke is that sort of writer. Look up information about him and as important as he is there is not a lot written about him. Where was he born? His style in this superb collection of short stories LITTLE BRIDGET AND THE FLAMES OF HELL is so Irish in poignancy and quality that he must have Irish blood in his veins (think John Banville, Seamus Haney, Colm Tóibín, James Joyce)."

I read every word of these stories (Little Bridget And The Flames Of Hell), not through professional obligation but through genuine enjoyment, engagement, admiration of Terence Clarke's mastery of the craft...I was literally moved to tears by some of these stories, transported by all of them into a world of Irish nuns, immigrants, mad poets, white-collar workers, errant priests, lawyers with, of all things, a heart... When I first got into publishing thirty-five years ago, it was with the hope of publishing literature of this integrity, rendered with such skill and bigness of heart.
