'My hand holding the revolver dropped limply to my side when, in the full glare of the lamp, I saw the Creature that squatted in the doorway ...'

An old house turns out to not be as empty as its new owners supposed. A nobleman barters his soul in exchange for arcane knowledge. A stranger with a terrible curse looks for an

unsuspecting victim to take her place.

Monsters, killers and unquiet spirits stalk these stories, drawn from the places where folklore, the Gothic and modern fiction intertwine - Irish literature's dark and ever-present

shadow.

Edited and introduced by Jack Fennell, this collection of lesser-known works of classic Irish horror includes stories by William Carleton, Henry de Vere Stacpoole, Mildred Darby and more.
