- Summary:
- Sea serpents, talking animals, hunchbacks, the "wee people" -- they're all here, wreaking havoc in each of these thirteen supernatural Irish folktales. A parliament of psychotic Irish saints eats, drinks, and plots murder; a hideous ghost devours her live husband; religious statues come to life in a church graveyard; and a drunken Irishman helps the tormented dead escape from purgatory. Further ghoulish tales will have you trembling by the time you reach the last.
