Gothic fiction from the threshold

Devin
Faoláin

Ghost stories for readers who listen to old houses.

Irish myth, long memory, and the architecture of dread. Devin Faoláin writes gothic fiction set where history lingers past its welcome, and the line between what is seen and what is felt grows thin.
