This book is a fascinating look at modern folklore. All around Ireland, there are frankly weird phenomena: singing walls, fairy rings, holy wells, magnetic hills, and moving statues. Often, things that started as in-jokes have quite literally gone viral in a particular place or with a particular community. We don't tend to question them too much, but when added up in this witty and precise book, they go to show just what an odd place Ireland can be. 

Weird Ireland started as a series on TikTok and Instagram where a faceless Brinsley McNamara (author of the Valley of the Squinting Windows) travels around visiting these strange places. His signature sign off is see you somewhere else in Weird Ireland, which is reminiscent of "believe it, if you like" from Pajo's jukebox in the 1980's, but it also has a strong connection to a particularly entertaining episode of The Gerry Ryan show where Brenda would be dispatched somewhere across Ireland to cover these pheomenona. 


Featuring illustrations by acclaimed Dublin illustrator Eoin Whelehan, this is a book to be cherished by all seekers of the strange, rare, and peculiar
