Ultor De Lacy, A Legend of Cappercullen. An Old Irish Family, a Broken Vow, and a Hound That Howls for the Dead

In the crumbling stronghold of Cappercullen, an old Irish family carries a legend nobody quite dares to test: break faith with the dead, and something will come to collect. When a young heir dismisses the warning as superstition, the countryside itself seems to answer him - a spectral hound baying on the ridge, and a string of misfortunes too precise to be coincidence. Sheridan Le Fanu at his most steeped in Irish folk legend, weaving a family curse tale where the land, the ancestors, and the supernatural are never quite separate things.
A haunting, atmospheric piece for readers drawn to gothic fiction rooted in genuine local lore.
