"I live in the green hills of the Sidhe but I am of the tribes of hell." Bean Si, 1318AD. From the annals of Irish myth and legend steps forth an entity long thought to have died out. The Banshee or Bean Si has been tracked across Ireland by Irish born Barry Fitzgerald and Cormac Strain who reveal she is far from dead. Her scream travels on the back of the night breeze, a scream which is never forgotten yet hard to describe. Modern Irish encounters with the Banshee are happening today and told here in their rawest form and it becomes apparent to the reader there is nowhere to hide when she calls, not even within the relative comfort of our modern cities. Within the great halls of Irish story telling Fitzgerald & Strain present stories of the Banshee in ways which are now sadly being lost and given to the reader just as that, stories. It will be up to the reader to believe or not, but bear in mind the Banshee doesn't give a damn whether you believe or not for when she comes, she will always collect.
