"Life is tough. And then there's The Change... A woman, ignored and invisible, starts to discover her voice. But who-or what-is speaking though her? Part body-horror, part feminist fiction, They Shut Me Up poses the question: how can we retell historic female narratives?

"In reclaiming the tale of an Irish "witch," Tracy Fahey writes about stories-the ones we tell ourselves and the ones others tell about us. Steeped in Irish history and myth and suffused with women's rage, They Shut Me Up is a luminous recounting of how unearthing the past can liberate us in the present." Lynda E. Rucker (The Moon Will Look Strange, Now It's Dark) -Lynda E. Rucker (The Moon Will Look Strange, Now It's Dark)

"This is a glorious feminist revisionism of how powerful older women are seen in folklore. Tracy Fahey gives voice to the silenced and it's a battle cry." -Priya Sharma, author of Ormeshadow and Pomegranates.
