Thursday March 20th at 7:00pm: SHADOW OVER RATHCARN: Darby O'Gill and The Undead Chieftain
When a reckless lad disturbs the cursed mound of Abhartach, an undying terror rises, demanding his rightful tribute in blood. The people of Rathcarn grow powerless beneath the shadow of the neamh-mairbh, and the land itself begins to wither.
But if there’s one man who knows how to parley with the dead, outwit the fae, and walk the fine line between courage and calamity, it’s Darby O’Gill.
Armed with nothing but his sharp tongue, quick wit, and a desperate plan, Darby must face an unholy horror, bargain with a tricksy fae lord, and call upon the oldest magic in Ireland to seal the nightmare away—before Rathcarn is drained dry.
A tale of cunning over cruelty, words over weapons, and a legend not soon forgotten...
TUESDAY, March 18th at 7pm: THE QUIET MAN
Join Caledonia tonight 'round the fire for a Seanchai Library tradition: Maurice Walsh's 1933 short story about a man returning to his home in Ireland, where rather than peace and contentment he finds romance, neighborhood politics, and perhaps the path to mending what's broken inside of him.
"Shawn Kelvin, a blithe young lad of twenty, went to the States to seek his fortune. And fifteen years thereafter he returned to his native Kerry, his blitheness sobered and his youth dried to the core, and whether he had made his fortune or whether he had not, no one could be knowing for certain. For he was a quiet man, not given to talking about himself and the things he had done. A quiet man, under middle size, with strong shoulders and deep-set blue eyes below brows darker than his dark hair—that was Shawn Kelvin."
