The
Spirits Of The Attic |
|
|
Arty and Susy are exploring Heather Grange,
an abandoned house with a tragic history. It is now shuttered and
deserted. Or is it? The light faded and the hall became
dark. It wasnt so much the lack of light that freaked me -
It was the sense of a presence other than my own. Someone watching.
And then I heard a sound that unlocked my trance. A soft, echoing
whistle. A tatty sketchbook. A girl in a blue dress. The
half-forgotten memories of an old lady. They are the threads that
weave a spine-chilling mystery.

The
Spirits Of The Bog |
|
| When Arty sees
Grandma Kates latest painting, he feels a sudden chill. It
showed an old gnarled tree rising out of boggy peatland, its massive
roots exposed like thick, grasping fingers. It was terrifyingly alive.
That night a sudden storm blows up. The phone goes dead. The lights
black out. Then, in the middle of the night, comes the sound of breaking
glass. Someone is trying to get in. So begins twenty-four hours of
terror for cousins Arty and Susy. |

Dead
Monks And Shady Deals |
|
| Maeve Morris,
doomed to spend her summer holidays in Kildioma, with relatives and
a cousin whose only interests are twittering birds and reading books
crammed with of useful facts, feels brain-deadness coming on. Then
along come Jamie the boy next door and Fergus, and life goes into
high gear. So much so that there is barely time to observe the comings
and goings at the nearby abbey, the unexplained lights by night, the
sinister group of three who are observed carrying a long, inert, body-sized
burden... |

Landscape
With Cracked Sheep |
|
| Banished to the
wilds of Galway with cousin Leo, Maeve Morris looks forward to a fairly
boring time. But things begin to happen. Gowan House is up for sale,
which reminds Lady Gowan of a family heirloom that disappeared years
ago. Then comes a blond Greek statue, and Maeves heart goes
into overdrive. Jamie turns up and the trio decide to follow the trail
of the lost painting, but Maeve, torn between two real-life fine
hunks, finds it difficult to work up an interest in an old
master. Then a dramatic late-night encounter concentrates her mind
wonderfully... |

Seascape
With Barbers Harp |
|
| Maeve Morris receives
an invitation to Baltimore, West Cork. Plus factor: its from
Jamie, Maeves old heart-throb. Minus factor: invitation includes
cousin (the nerd) Leo. Then she meets Pedro, tall, tanned, with a
face to die for who is devoted to finding a long-lost treasure given
to a family ancestor. Maeve suggests they lend a hand which leads
to brainwork on old documents, trespassing in ancient castles, island
hopping and shooting white-water rapids. Throughout, their footsteps
are dogged by two Corkmen. Pretending to be friends. But are they?
Or are they foes? |
