The Boughs Withered

"The debut collection from accomplished Irish author Maura McHugh, containing twenty tales - four of them original to this volume - which represent the best strange visions from an award-winning writer of fiction, non-fiction, comic books, and plays. In her beautifully observed evocative stories, Maura McHugh explores her love of the uncanny, delves into the eerie past, and evokes weird landscapes that might just co-exist with our own."--Back cover
