With elements of Irish folklore, creeping domestic dread, and the profound melancholy of the supernatural world, Riddell's work is celebrated for its ability to generate terror not through gore, but through haunting atmosphere and the gradual erosion of sanity.
Containing tales where ancient warnings and spiritual visitations clash with the realities of Victorian life:
-
Hertford O'Donnell's Warning: A classic story of premonition and the terrifying inevitability of a spectral message.
-
Sandy the Tinker: An evocative tale rooted in Irish rural life and the uncanny power residing outside polite society.
-
The Old House in Vauxhall Walk: A powerful example of urban haunting, where a seemingly ordinary London house conceals a sinister, persistent presence.
-
The Banshee's Warning: A quintessential piece of Irish supernatural fiction, featuring the terrifying cry of the Banshee and the chilling adherence to ancient destiny.
From the pen of Charlotte Riddell, the influential Victorian writer recognised as the Queen of Irish Horror, comes this essential collection of atmospheric and chilling short stories that blend the supernatural with keen social observation.
This volume is a crucial read for fans of Victorian ghost stories, Irish Gothic fiction, and literary tales where the supernatural speaks with a profound and sorrowful voice.
