Single-Author Short-Story Collection

Whisky for Breakfast

Whisky for Breakfast

Whisky for Breakfast

Christopher P. Mooney's debut single-author collection of short transgressive fiction - Whisky for Breakfast - is available now from Bridge House Publishing in paperback and on Kindle.




'Mooney writes about loners and losers; people on the fringes and those left behind. His characters are lost and broken; hard men and tough women often trying but failing to do the right thing. The writing is precise and uncompromising, and always surprising. The stories in this dazzling debut collection drag you out of your comfort zone and stay with you long after you have read them. Highly recommended.'


- Gary Duncan, author of 'You're Not Supposed to Cry'.
