In A Wake and Other Ghost Stories, debut author Gerard Larkin conjures a world where shadows linger, voices call from beyond, and folklore comes alive.This evocative collection transports readers across windswept Irish cliffs and along the sun-drenched but haunted Riviera, uncovering tales of shape-shifting pookas, ancestral whispers, and unseen watchers. Drawing from the deep well of Celtic myth and rural superstition, each story invites you to cross the threshold into the unknown, where nothing is ever quite as it seems.Steeped in atmosphere and quiet dread, this is folk horror at its finest. Light a candle, draw the curtains, and prepare to be unsettled.
