Beautiful, Evil, Little Things

From vanishings in Galway’s art scene, where a beautiful patron lures away musicians and painters, to mutilated flocks in Donegal that whisper of famine spirits, Seán finds himself circling truths older than the State itself. Each case pulls him deeper into Ireland’s hidden folklore, where the Aos Sí guard their mounds, the Leannán Sí feeds on brilliance, and the Fear Gorta drains whole communities of hope.

Bound by duty, haunted by dreams, and tethered by the stories his mother once told, Seán must confront an antiquarian’s obsession that threatens to pry open doors best left sealed. His superiors dismiss the signs, but the patterns are undeniable: the land remembers, and the fair folk do not forgive.

Part police procedural, part folk horror, and wholly Irish in spirit, this supernatural thriller brings the old myths roaring into the present. For fans of Tana French, Neil Gaiman, and John Connolly, it asks one chilling question: what happens when folklore stops being a story and starts being evidence?
