A Terror Triptych: Ireland

The latest collection of horror short stories, A Terror Triptych: Ireland, is now available. This haunting compilation is Fallon's second book in the Terror Triptych series and draws heavily on Ireland's storied past, blending history with unsettling fiction. Readers can expect three chilling tales, each steeped in Irish folklore, history, and psychological horror. Fallon, an Editor's Choice Award winner for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry from the International Library of Poetry, and recently featured in the September and October editions of Poets & Writers magazine, has captivated audiences with her ability to weave intricate horror, psychological thrillers, and romantic suspense. A Terror Triptych: Ireland continues her work, with stories that delve into the darker side of the Emerald Isle. Each story is accompanied by original poetry and hand-drawn illustrations, enhancing the atmospheric tension of the collection. Dark Legends Reimagined Legacy, the first story, traces the cursed history of the Clairy family. The Clairys have fed centuries of blood into the Fair Farm of Clairy, and as an ancient Gaelic god demands more, their desperate choices lead to devastating consequences. As Fallon writes, "This is the bed the Clairys have wrought. Generations of blood." The collection continues with Dungeons Under Dublin, where guards at an ancient prison discover why they should have left the old wing untouched. Fallon's use of Irish settings is not merely for atmosphere, but to invoke the weight of the country's past, its myths, and its lingering shadows. Readers can expect historical accuracy intertwined with unnerving fiction, making the horrors all the more visceral. Finally, in The Dead House, the picturesque Aran Islands become the stage for Clara's unnerving attraction to the only house on the island left to rot in haunting silence. As one reviewer noted, "These stories are flat out, bone-chilling, creepy... The psychological touch was there, that's what makes you shiver." Praise for A Terror Triptych Reviews for the first edition of the collection have been overwhelmingly positive. One reader noted, "These three stories are equally chilling and haunting and are likely to remain with me for some time." Another review praises Fallon's ability to deliver psychologically unsettling narratives. Fallon's writing, grounded in historical fact and legend, brings a fresh perspective to the horror genre. By drawing on her travels across Ireland, Fallon has crafted stories that not only terrify but evoke the rich and sometimes unsettling history of the land itself. In her words: "The fires couldn't burn us, And the torture made us mad. Ensnaring you in here with us, Is the most craic we've ever had." (Dungeons Under Dublin)
