The Demon Angler & One Other
Mervyn Wall's "The Demon Angler" was first published in The Capuchin Annual in 1943. "Cloonaturk" was first published in Argosy (London) in 1947; it was also printed in Weird Tales in 1989/90. These tales of rural Ireland, verging on the supernatural, reflect the same dark humour and satire found in Wall's popular novels The Unfortunate Fursey and The Return of Fursey. "The Demon Angler" and "Cloonaturk" were republished in Wall's only collection, now difficult to find, A Flutter of Wings, in 1974.
The Demon Angler & One Other is limited to 125 copies. Although the booklet was printed in January 2013, it was not issued until 2015 when it was given away free with the first 100 copies of The Unfortunate Fursey and The Return of Fursey sold through this website.
