About this ebook
Tales of the Bright the Dark and the Bizarre is a compilation of short stories with an Irish backdrop. The title could be taken as self-explanatory as the various stories touch all aspects of human emotion.Peopled by fascinating characters the book has a strong vein of dark humour throughout. Contemporary Ireland and superstitious Ireland of the early fifties brought vividly to life. Ponder the fate of the missing policeman whose brief marriage to a lesbian has the local populance frightened and bewildered; conjure up the lifestyle of young men where the pub and rural dancehall offer the only escape from the social poverty of an era where the automobile is tentatively making its appearance; what happens when an aging farmer advertises for love in the Lonely Hearts section? All twelve stories are thought provoking and truly memorable.

My name is Maurice Connolly and I have created this compilation of short stories, 'Tales of the Bright the Dark and the Bizarre.' Rural Ireland is the location of the work. I'm a countryman myself so I feel I know what I'm writing about. And some strange individuals do reside in the countryside. Previously I have written a novel, 'Redferne' and two stage plays that were widely performed. I remain still married to the same woman.
