From Irish writer and quiet horror master David O'Mahony comes a collection of tales that delve into the myriad aspects of what connects us, in this world, other worlds, to each other, and to things not of this Earth. Including forays into Irish folklore, stories loosely based on some of his real-life ancestors, Lovecraftian cosmic horror, and an array of ghost stories, this is his debut work and gathers together published as well as unpublished stories.
What people are saying about the stories:
"a microcosmic reflection on the horrors of our relatively recent history, told through the lens of a weary young man who can bring peace to troubled souls. O'Mahony transitions the reader with unnerring gravitas from a seemingly innocuous fantasy of a medium-type character who perhaps exploits people with his gift to an Irishman haunted by the chaotic unrest of a famine pit and its otherwise forgotten occupants. An opportunity he has until now avoided anticipates a happy ending, but amid the vivid and unnerving imagery are the clues that we, the reader, will leave this tale as haunted as the man who sees the dead. Short and fleeting though it is, Grave Tidings is an altogether immersive piece that demands our retrospection, our introspection, our consideration of a moment in time that still echoes across the land"
- Ronald A. Geobey, author of Kiranis, on the story 'Grave Tidings'
"A riveting and imaginative journey... [balancing] the surreal aspects with a palpable sense of urgency and drama"
- Parth Sarathi Chakraborty, Wicked Shadow Press, on the story 'Head Case'
"This story is beautiful. It has the neatness of a fable, but the characters' emotions and the tug of the picturesque setting make it anything but neat."
- Adam Katz, editor, 2 Rules of Writing, on the story 'The Ties That Bind'
David O'Mahony is a horror and dark fantasy writer from Cork, Ireland. Having once harboured fantasies of being the next Tolkien or Goodkind he realised horror was his calling while writing a historical fiction novel that only worked when he made it a ghost story. With influences from HP Lovecraft and Mary Shelley to Paulo Coelho and Caitlin Marceau, he is inspired by what drives the human mind and soul, as well as the folklore and landscape of his native country. He has had some 30 stories published or accepted in Ireland, the UK, US, Belgium, Canada, Australia, India, and Thailand. They have found homes with, among others, Temple Dark Books, Rogue Planet Press, 2 Rules of Writing, Stygian Lepus, AntipodeanSF, Wicked Shadow Press, Exquisite Death, and Perseid Prophecies.
He was a finalist in the Globe Soup Primal Fears horror competition and his entry to the NYC Midnight Short Story contest was praised as "an original, creative take on the ghost story".
A journalist, copy editor, and historian by training he has written non-fiction at the Irish Examiner, where he is assistant editor. A second volume of stories, What Gets Left Behind, is due out in 2025. He lives with his wife, three children, and two cats outside Cork City in a house that's far too modern for somebody who specialises in ghost stories.

Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
