Songs of the Hallow Saints — Brian Barr

Songs of the Hallow Saints is a weird sword and sorcery story, set during Samhain in ancient Erie. What starts as a sword and sorcery story, however, transforms into another kind of tale after Niall, a bold Gaelic warrior, descends into the underworld. Fighting against necromantic fae and the animated skeletons who serve them, Niall will stop at nothing to find his beloved Aisling and return her to the land of the living. For what purposes the evil spirits would take his love, Niall has no clue, but he learns the truth sooner than expected in this dark short story.
