Audio: The Aberrations of St. Phinneas (a Kilphouca story)

Each day this week will feature one reading from the Kilphouca stories: extracts from a collection of short stories in development, set in a fictional Irish town which has been gripped by mass hysteria—a hallucinatory contamination in the whiskey during a local festival. Written by Brian Manton.

“That one man could forever change the nature of the town, would put forevermore a murmur in its soft heartbeat, was never expected.”

Check back tomorrow for another Kilphouca story.

Brian Manton is an Irish writer based in Swansea, Wales.
