Hi everyone! I’m very interested in Irish history, literature, culture, and folklore and would love some recommendations! I’m open to a variety of genres although I do love fiction most – namely horror, mystery, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy/dark fantasy, westerns – but again, open to everything! Anything from classics to hidden gems, I’d love to hear it. Thank you all in advance I appreciate it so much! 🙂

The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne
Lying in Wait (the audio is good, well done) and Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent
The Quirke Series by Benjamin Black
Holding and/or A Keeper by Graham Norton
For comedy/mystery, A Man with One of Those Faces by Caimh McDonnell
James Joyce of course. “Dubliners” for example
The Lieutenant of Inishmore (a play) is a great read.
Also highly suggest The Butcher Boy.
EDIT: I would note that both of the above are violent, disturbing works of fiction.
Tana French’s murder mystery books are fantastic.
Graveyard Clay: Cré na Cille by Mairtin O Cadhain
