Banshee: Mythological Irish Women Retold
Not yet published
Expected 26 Feb 26'A mystical, magical, empowering modern re-imagining of the Irish goddesses, I LOVED these superb stories' PATRICIA SCANLAN
In this spellbinding anthology, Ireland's most electrifying female writers breathe new life into ancient Irish myths, reclaiming the stories of women who have too long stood in the shadows of warriors and kings.
Editor and journalist Ailbhe Malone was raised on these legends - but the women, always cast as mothers, warriors or witches, were never given the lead. And so, Banshee was not just a retelling but a radical reclamation.
Banshee transports you to treacherous landscapes and salt-crashing seas, generational curses and mystical islands. Here you'll find unruly mothers, rule-breaking queens, and women outrunning their destiny - stories pulsing with desire, danger and defiance.
With contributions from every corner of Irish literature, Banshee features luminous re-tellings

This is a celebration of womanhood - and an homage to the ancient stories that still shape us.
