Peter Tremayne’s short story collections gather his non-Fidelma shorter fiction into themed volumes. The earliest, My Lady of Hy-Brasil and Other Stories (1987), draws on Irish myth and folklore to create tales of the supernatural, while Aisling and Other Irish Tales of Terror (1992) continues in that vein with horror stories rooted in Celtic tradition. These collections show a side of Tremayne’s writing that predates the Sister Fidelma mysteries and has more in common with his earlier horror novels.
An Ensuing Evil and Others (2005) shifts toward mystery and crime fiction, and Made for Murders (2024) is his most recent collection. Together, these four volumes offer a useful overview of Tremayne’s range as a short-story writer, from supernatural horror to whodunits, all colored by his interest in Irish history and folklore. Readers who know him only through the Sister Fidelma series may be surprised by the darker tone of the earlier collections.
