It seems like just another ordinary day for Rosie and her grandad. But as soon as they step outside, they find themselves on a blooming great adventure around Dublin on the 16th of June, 1904!

A spooky bus tour around Ireland, with our favourite Dublin Vampire! He travels to well-known places all over the country, including St. Michan's church (where the mummies sleep!), Kilkenny Castle, the Hill of Tara, and visits the giants at the causeway. But, when his travels are done, he decides that home is the most spooktacular place to be!

A funny, warm picture book set throughout Dublin, home to Dracula's creator, Bram Stoker.

Sourced in the early consciousness these poems pay homage to the fragile force at the heart of their landscapes. The permanent and transitory overlap in small changes of light and atmosphere- whether 'at dusk's grainy glow/ a figure times the street/ to perfection-' or 'the steady solitary clump/ of homebound cows/ like the earth's clock/ on the dot of evening'.

In these short poems, with lines such as 'the bitter orchard trees/ the flinty stars/ a harsh moon-match/ struck in the white-washed yard-' or 'only the stripped thing/ only the primrose smoke/ the sunset chimneys thread-', what's spared are the images of the early consciousness, a landscape stripped to its signs; a glimmer of light can be a way of life, or first impressions a set of beliefs.
