Dusk to Dawn: Reading Horror and Weird Fiction

Discussing The Devil is an Irishman by Eddie Lenihan

If the Devil is no Irishman, he surely deserves to be, as Devil stories far outnumber tales about his opposite. In these four folktales featuring the Old One, readers encounter the various ways the Devil tricks his marks... as well as the ways in which the Irishmen trick him right back.

A little girl takes a piñata from the ancient ruins of a church in Mexico. It is a very bad idea and when she takes it back home to new York with her family, things begin to spiral out of control.
