Hagstone
Hagstone is a haunting and imaginative novel that blends Irish folklore with contemporary storytelling. Set on a remote island, the story follows an artist whose retreat becomes something far stranger and more unsettling than she expected.
As myth, landscape, and personal history begin to merge, the novel explores themes of creativity, isolation, and transformation. Gleeson creates an eerie yet compelling atmosphere where ancient stories seem to linger in the present.
