Tales for Samhain is the illustrated, short story collection entwining Celtic Mythology with the art of botanical painting, creating eerie tales of mystical Irish plants and berries with magic enough to alter human lives!

STORY DESCRIPTION

Before there was Hallowe'en, there was Samhain.

Samhain, ancient Celtic festival of autumnal fire. The night when worldly boundaries split open to let gods, spirits and other beings roam within the human dimension.

And so it happens that on the Feast of Samhain Fr Éamonn receives a mysterious visitor at his ivy-covered church. The stranger makes a deceptively simple request: Celebrate Holy Mass in memory of seven departed souls.

Who were these people, that their souls want for a Christian Mass during this pagan feast of fire? How did the metaphysical forces of Ivy or

Blackberry, Dog Rose or Yew, shape their lives?

And why does it matter now?
