The Trap

"Brought to you by Penguin. 'You'd think they'd do something about the taxi shortage,' he says. 'Especially with the missing women.' Stranded on a dark road in the middle of the night, a young woman accepts a lift from a passing stranger. It's the nightmare scenario that every girl is warned about, and she knows the dangers all too well - but what other choice does she have? As they drive, she alternates between fear and relief - one moment thinking he is just a good man doing a good thing, the next convinced he's a monster. But when he delivers her safely to her destination, she realizes her fears were unfounded. And her heart sinks. Because a monster is what she's looking for. She'll try again tomorrow night. But will the man who took her sister take the bait? ©2023 Catherine Ryan Howard (P)2023 Penguin Audio"

Banshee: Modern Encounters with the Banshee

"The Banshee, is she to be feared, loathed or is she simply misunderstood? Barry Fitzgerald and Cormac Strain explore some of the history of this very famous entity of myth and legend to reveal things are not possibly what they seem. They speak to people from all over the island of Ireland who have come face to face with this messenger of death and share their encounters. These encounters are not from the dark regions of Irish history but rather happened within the last 50 years. 'The electric light killed the fairy' was the old saying, but this is not exactly true. As they explore the nature and history of the Banshee within this publication it becomes apparent that she is not simply an element of our imagination, but rather an element of ancient Ireland which still walks among us today, right into our cities. 'Banshee' recounts these modern day encounters in the old style of Irish storytelling and delivers a book which will make you question your own beliefs and as the wind howls in the light of the full moon pray, that’s all you hear."
