New Music for Old Rituals by Tracy Fahey

Trade Paperback.

New Music for Old Rituals brings together a selection of stories that illustrate the pervasive power of the past in the present. Together they present a strange yet familiar country where cautionary tales still serve a purpose; where sacred sites of sea, forest, valley and forts hold power. Where old legends live, and where new myths are born. Within these pages, bog bodies sleep, contagion fought, ghosts linger, and time stutters, fails and turns back on itself.
