The Shee by Joe Donnelly

Kilgallan -- a small, quiet community on Ireland's west coast. Things at Donovan's Bar get a little raucous sometimes, and the people carry their share of Ireland's tragic history, but in Kilgallan, the fights are happy, the songs are sad, and the days are as rich as slow-pured, peaty beer.

It happens first to the children.

To little Mikey Boyle, whose auntie takes off all her clothes, takes his off too, and persuades him into the river...

To sweet Marie Lally, barely sixteen, when Mike O'Hara ties the cord around her neck and slides up her nightgown...

Village tragedies. Casual eruptions of horror...But at the heart of a nearby hill, something turns in its sleep.

Breathes...

Awakes...

THE SHEE will put her fingers into your dreams, and leave you crying for more.
