Banshees, Beasts, and Brides from the Sea: Irish Tales of the Supernatural

The stories in this book have been selected to show the variety, vigour and vitality of Irish supernatural tales. They have been culled from all over the countryside, and range from stories about wolves, banshees and the devil to tales of mermaids, fairies and the walking dead.

These are the voices of country people and, as you hear them, you may also hear the wind sighing in the trees outside the window, or catch the waft of scented smoke curling up from the peat fire in the open hearth.
