The Last Disco in Crumlin: A Father Declan Supernatural Mystery

By Patrick Dorn

Footloose in a Bingo Hall!

Following a riot of sexagenarians at a south Dublin bingo hall, Father Declan must cleanse Jack Pott's Star Crumlin of a restless nest of pubescent psychic echoes implanted by overheated teenagers during a 1970s pop concert.

Set in Ireland, the Father Declan Supernatural Mysteries are upbeat, redemptive contemporary fantasy short stories. Some are humorous, and others mildly horrifying.
