A good compilation of chilling stories set in Ireland. And you really feel the locations in these stories.
I enjoyed it and think you will too.
You will find yourself reading the whole thing in one sitting.
I bet you do.

I've never read a book like this, so the fact that I finished it in one sitting. Shows you just how dang captivating it is. All the stories stem from the dark history of Emerald Isle, Ireland.

The first short story was about the fair farm of the Clairy family & some long-standing traditions that revolved around Lughnasadh, which is in the beginning of harvest season. This ritual had been going on for 200-plus years around this time. This was quite frightening—how far this family was willing to go to please the Gaelic god.

Dungeons Under Dublin is about an old prison with an abandoned wing; these guards just should have stayed the heck out of it. What Paddy one of the guards experiences is downright freaking disturbing! The story intertwines history into it as well. Freakish, insanely, disturbing to say the least.

Revolves around the old, dilapidated house called This Dead house, which has an energy that has been drawing poor little Clara. After waking up from a horrible nightmare about the Dead House, Clare grabbed one of her mama's knitting needles and went to go join the party. If you're into short stories with a little horror in them, this one's a gripping quick read. Highly recommend!!

I loved these short horror stories based in Ireland. Growing up with a family with an Irish heritage, I loved being able to relate and place myself in the setting…until I didn’t want to be in the setting anymore!

These stories were quick and easy to read but also disturbing, in the best way.

I picked up this book as something quick and a little different to dive into. I've always had a deep love for Irish lore, stories, and history. Growing up, I was completely fascinated by everything Irish; Ireland has always been a dream destination for me. With a bit of Irish in my roots (I’m a proud Canadian mixed breed!), I’ve always found the culture and land so beautiful and captivating. So, when I stumbled across this book, I knew I had to read it.

The book is made up of three short stories, and I finished it in just over a day (though let’s be honest #ToddlerMomLife means reading time comes in short bursts). I really enjoyed the pacing of each story and the writing style. I read it all in my head with an Irish lilt, which just made the whole experience even better. The landscapes were described so vividly, especially for short stories... it really pulled me in.

Each story brought a fresh take on Irish folklore and horror. The first was rooted in eerie farmland folklore, the second took a unique spin on the haunted house trope, and the third was a chilling dive into the dark history of Dublin’s underground tunnels. All three stories gave me different vibes, but they were all beautifully tied together with elements of art and poetry. It was honestly so well done.

If you’re thinking of picking this up, I highly recommend getting the physical book instead of the e-book (which is what I read). I feel like the experience would be even more immersive in print... this one definitely deserves to be held and flipped through.

I really enjoyed this read and give it a solid 4 stars. Thanks for the ride!
It was a wonderfully haunting little journey.
