PRELOVED Celtic Tales of Terror - Mairtin O'Griofa

This is a secondhand book, there some light acid marks but otherwise the condition is very good.

Lock your doors and put on your night light because these horrific Celtic tales will chill your blood and haunt your dreams. As terrifying tales unfold, the unreal becomes real and the unknown all too familiar.

A rich mix of the eerie and the amusing make up the 10 selections in O'Griofa's collection. Banshees, witches, and other supernatural folk people many of these ethereal tales.

In the story "Donald and His Neighbors" (whose authorship is cited only as Traditional), which reads like a classic Irish joke, Donald repeatedly outfoxes his greedy, malevolent neighbors until they jump to their doom in pursuit of riches. O'Griofa gives background on the Celtic authors in the opening remarks.

Features ten Irish works of horror by authors such as Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, George Moore, Thomas Crofton Croker, W.B. Yeats, Daniel Corkery, William Carleton, and Charlotte Riddell
