Description
Suddenly the upper rim of the clear setting sun disappeared behind the hill of Knockdoula, and it was twilight. Each child felt the transition like a shock... and the rounded summit of Lisnavoura, now closely overhanging them, struck them with a new fear.
Uncanny Ireland delves into Ireland's rich literary history, uncovering a vein of potent fantastic fiction. This collection draws upon the deep folkloric tradition brimming with tales of the aos sí (the people of the fairy mounds), the Otherworld, and timeless deities. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries saw writers add new chapters to this tradition, reworking elements of folklore into modern tales of the weird and macabre.
Featured stories include works by classic authors such as Sheridan Le Fanu and Charlotte Riddell, alongside pieces by Lady Gregory, Katharine Tynan, Elizabeth Bowen, and many more.
