Having recently blogged on saints for the family, another book about saints had now landed on my desk. Titled Inspiration from the Saints by Maolsheachlann O’Ceallaigh and published by Angelico Press, it brings a heartfelt personal touch to the subject. Indeed, in his introduction the author confesses that he was led to consider the saints because he was so fascinated by horror films. If readers fail to see an immediate link, there is one: the horror genre is “otherworldly”, as the author puts it; a great attraction for Hallowe’en and its ritual summons to the dark side brought him eventually face to face with the reality of the “Hallowed”, celebrated the day after: All Saints Day.
