Changeling And Other Stories

By Donn Byrne

Book Overview

A shadow-souled collection that lingers long after the last page. Changeling and Other Stories gathers mind and myth into a single, unforgettable voice. This short stories collection channels early twentieth-century Ireland through gothic hues, where identity and disguise mingle with folklore motifs and supernatural beings. Each tale invites the reader into an intimate, eerie world-where the uncanny hides in ordinary moments and folk beliefs become living fear or solace. It is at once a masterclass in moody atmosphere and a lucid meditation on longing, memory, and the thin line between reality and myth. Its literary and historical significance is undeniable: a cornerstone of Irish storytelling that influenced later generations of writers and readers alike, and a touchstone for college course use in folklore and letters. For modern readers, it offers a compelling bridge from antique anthology purchases to today's general reader appeal, a reminder that classic literature can still feel startlingly fresh. The book's enduring resonance makes it both a delight for casual readers and a treasure for collectors of Irish folklore tales and gothic fiction. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it has been carefully restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, this is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-perfect for those who seek a literary artefact that honours both craft and heritage.
