Young Kelsey’s Irish great-grandmother was always telling her stories about banshees and leprechauns. Years later, Kelsey’s grateful she listened to those stories.
A charming short-story by Heather Graham that’s great to read around Halloween.

Entertaining paranormal listening 🎶🔰
She is listening 🎶 to her Irish grandmother tell her stories about Irish Halloween 🎃. The family goes to Ireland for the grandmother's funeral and she remembers her grandmother's stories. She is out with friends on Halloween at a bar when one of the friends brings up ☝ the murder that took place. They go outside looking for a friend but he turns out too be the killer. The Irish banshee protect her and the killer is caught. I would recommend this novella and author to 👍 readers of fantasy haunting novels 👍🔰. 2023 👒😀😡😮

An excellent quick read!
A very good Irish spooky Halloween short story! It starts off with Kels visiting her great grandmother in Ireland at Halloween. Her great grandmother was always telling her stories about Banshees and Leprechauns! Kels wasn't sure what the truth really was. Many years later while she was attending Northwestern, she was being chased by a killer. Who would say e her? Enjoy!

A Banshee's Cry - Read in KU
Just a story her Irish great-grandmother told her? Or are Banshee's and leprechauns real? Kelsey is sure they're just myth...until the might a killer wanted to make her his third victim. The police thought she got away on her own, and they swear they were alerted to her being in danger by a great howling that sounded just like a Banshee screaming....

Great story!
Another great short story by Heather Graham.!
I really enjoyed this Halloween story with an Irish theme. Whether or not you believe in the stories from the old country or not sometimes things can happen that still make you wonder. Is it real or isn't it - who knows?

Sweet tale, once you stop the killer.
Heather Graham spins a great little Irish mystery. I enjoyed it very much. The heroine was wise enough to listen to her elders. It saved her life. Good story for Halloween evening if you can't go out and trick or treat.

A sweet little story
Grandmas love to spin tales about the folklore they grew up with and this Irish Grandma was no exception. Something happened to her as a young woman and now history repeats for her granddaughter.
This book is a short, fast read - perfect for a coffee break!

Irish Tales
I have always 💘 the Irish stories. They always seemed to have a blessing and a warning with them. Yet they also said a lot about the Faith of the Irish people. I found this a fun take for Halloween. I loved it!
