Wilder. Darker. Funnier. And finally uncensored.

Pure Mad earned a cult following for its breakneck energy, razor sharp dialogue, and surreal Irish noir chaos. Now comes Pure Mad: The Author's Cut, the definitive edition of Gary J Byrnes' most outrageous thriller. Restored. Expanded. Unfiltered.

This is the version that was never meant to see the light of day. The version that rattled literary agents. The version with chapters and twists declared too strange, too risky, or simply too mad. Now they are back where they belong, stitched into the beating heart of the story.

When a freelance journalist becomes entangled with dangerous criminals, crooked officials, and a chain of events that spirals far beyond anything he can control, the result is a wild ride through modern Ireland at its funniest and most frightening. Reality bends. Logic burns. Decisions are made that cannot be undone.

The Author's Cut delivers a deeper look into the madness, with extra scenes that amplify the humour, tighten the suspense, and elevate the chaos to a level only Gary J Byrnes could unleash.

If you thought you knew Pure Mad, think again. This is the full story. The mad story.
