Description
Ghostly footsteps accompany a young man on his way home after a céilí in the dead of night; a procession of the dead abroad before sunrise; a drowned boy seen by his now adult brother years after his death, but utterly transformed – as the author says: “my own version of the kind of stories that would have people blessing themselves when I was a boy.” But it’s not all fairy tales and and ghost stories in this book: the wonder of youth, the bitterness of old age, the white-hot blaze of love are all themes in this collection. A menu of many courses and many flavours.
