Więcej o książce

You can keep your headless horsemen, your blood-dripping vampires, your things that go bump in the night. This collection of grim Celtic characters is sure to have you checking under the bed--twice. Among them, lurching out of the dark shadows of Celtic folklore, you'll meet the Black Sisters, who brought death wherever they went...the wolf of Badenoch, a blasphemous sorcerer who plundered church and countryside...and canny Alexander Colville, who did a deal with the Devil. In these ominous stories, the strand of Celtic myth threads its way through the British Isles and across the Atlantic to colonial shores, drawing into its coils along the way immigrant and indigenous American folklore. The terrifying tapestry it weaves will leave you knowing more, wondering more...and trying to convince yourself something is not still out there in the mist, especially not a dark spirit...skulking in the shadows.
