Sinopsis
Where the border splits the town, the living and the dead still share the road.
In Killyknock, a small village straddling the Irish border between Lough Derg and Lough Erne, barefoot children paddle in streams, altar boys witness the petty tyrannies of parish priests, and neighbors test the boundaries of law, nature, and each other. These are the vivid, bog-scented memories of a world now largely vanished, a rural Ireland shaped by poverty, pilgrimage, partition, and the quiet resilience of people who endured it all with wit and grit.
In Slow Down, Pilgrim!, Barnard Ardglass gathers tales that move from the warmth of childhood mischief to something stranger and darker. Part 1 immerses us in a community transformed by political upheaval and religious authority, where a guard's son can shame a family at the stream, where a priest's demand for donations carries the weight of a bishop's crozier, and where Protestant mill owners and Catholic neighbors share a decency that transcends the sectarian divide. Part 2 crosses a different border entirely. Here, hauntings emerge from local lore and personal encounter. Ghosts fill the air above Killyknock, and the line between the living and the dead grows as thin as the border that once split the town in two.
Reflective, mysterious, and laced with supernatural dread, these stories ask a question that lingers long after the final page: when the grasses stop bowing and the stillness settles in, what remains of us on either side of the grave?

Acerca del autor
Barnard Ardglass brings a scholar's precision and a storyteller's instinct to literary fiction rooted in the traditions, tensions, and hauntings of Ireland. His academic background informs a body of work that balances rigorous observation of social and political history with an abiding respect for the mysteries that resist explanation.Ardglass grew up in a small village in County Donegal, Ireland, where history, politics, literature, and religion were not subjects studied at a remove but forces that shaped everyday life. It was there he first learned how thin the line between fact and fiction could be, and how the stories people tell one another, whether political, spiritual, or supernatural, carry truths that outlast the tellers. That formative experience drives Slow Down, Pilgrim!: Tales of the Living and the Dead, a collection that moves from vivid coming-of-age narratives set in an Ireland now largely vanished to ghost stories drawn from local lore and personal encounters with the uncanny.Having lived in both monarchies and liberal democracies, Ardglass writes with a keen awareness that human nature holds steady across borders; what differs is the degree of social evolution. He now lives with his wife in Forest Hills, New York City, where he continues to explore the unity of nature and the conviction that the imagined life is at least as important as the experienced one.
