    “Have you seen the Yellow Sign?”, mumbles a cadaverous hearse driver with a soft, squishy head. He’s been skulking about Scott’s painting studio, where he and Tessie have been developing a tangled relationship between artist and model. But as this ever-present watchman resembling a coffin worm begins to distract Scott, his portrait of Tessie takes on a death-like pallor. How can they forever rid themselves of this hearse stalker? And what precisely does he mean by a “Yellow Sign”?  
     
    Developing themes as old as time, Chambers takes his lovers and twists their story into a chilling danse macabre.

His stories are characterized by an original kind of supernatural horror, often using the awareness of death as a catalyzing force in its own right. His tales and poems brim with psychological depth and intense imagery, made vivid through his musical language and hypnotic rhythms, which are especially captivating when heard aloud.

    1. The Tell Tale Heart2. Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar3. Hop Frog4. Murder in the Rue Morgue5. The Masque of the Red Death6. The Pit and the Pendulum7. The Fall of the House of Usher8. The Black Cat9. The Cask of Amontillado

    City of the Tribes

    These stories, rich with the passion and drama which characterises all of Walter Macken's writing, were conceived by the author as a thematic collection, providing a stunning evocation of the life and people of Galway in the 1940s. They document a time and place, yet they also have a timeless appeal in their portrayal of the people of the city whom Macken knew and loved so well. Full of insight and humour, they do not romanticise the past; rather they celebrate the qualities of ordinary people in their struggles with poverty, with political conservatism and with the sea, ever-present elements in the life of the city of the tribes.
    Walter Macken has long been one of Ireland's most popular writers. A novelist who defined in fiction the world of the 'plain people' of the west of Ireland, he was a master of the short story.
    First published posthumously in 1997, these magnificent stories are now brought back to life in the Modern Irish Classics series.
