The Bleeding Horse and Other Ghost Stories
The Children of the Night Award winner 2008.
Introduction by Jim Rockhill. Cover art by Scott Hampton. Illustrations by Duane Spurlock.
The Bleeding Horse and Other Ghost Stories infests the author's Dublin neighbourhood with an authentic population of ghosts, ghouls and goblins. Brian J. Showers has filled each story with fascinating regional history, local atmosphere and architectural details that are clearly visible today. While this gives the stories a factual flavour, the supernatural twists and turns are entirely fictional. The result is a realistic yet deliciously spooky portrait of a neighbourhood that many in Dublin know well.
