Literati Glitterati: The Unhinged Story That Is Stinkbug

Author Sinéad Stubbins chats with Mel Fulton about her debut novel, Stinkbug. Set during an advertising agency’s intense corporate retreat, the story centres protagonist Edith and her colleagues as they try to impress their bosses and avoid redundancy during an upcoming restructure - but things get a little out of hand.
