Tales of the Otherworld – Anne Doyle In Conversation with Deirdre Sullivan Tues 31 October 2023
31 October 2023

There’s another side to Anne Doyle – an affinity for the ghoulish, unexplainable and supernatural. Reincarnated as the mistress of macabre, the grande dame of the dark, Ireland’s beloved newsreader delights in presenting her fabulously frightful anthology of Irish ghost stories, which have excited, unnerved and, for better or worse, stayed with her over the years.

Halloween 2023, in celebration of the publication of Tales of the Otherworld: A Frightful Collection of Irish Ghost Stories, we joined Anne for a special evening in dlr LexIcon in conversation with writer Deirdre Sullivan.

Anne Doyle is a former journalist, broadcaster and newsreader – a face and voice known around the country for fronting RTÉ One’s main evening news. Originally from County Wexford, she now lives in Dublin with her partner. Photo Credit: Steve Langan.

Deirdre Sullivan is an award-winning writer and teacher from Galway. She has written eight acclaimed books for young adults, including Savage Her Reply (Little Island, 2020), Perfectly Preventable Deaths (Hot Key Books, 2019), and Tangleweed and Brine (Little Island, 2017). She was the recipient of the CBI Book of the Year Award in 2018 and 2021, and the An Post Teen and Young Adult Book of the Year in 2017 and 2020. Her debut short story collection for adults, I Want to Know That I Will Be Okay (2021), was published by Banshee Press. Her short story ‘Little Lives’ won the An Post Irish Book Award for Short Fiction in 2021, and has been optioned for film. Weave, a collaborative collection of short fiction and folklore, co-written by Deirdre and Oein DeBhairduin and illustrated by Yingge Xu was released in 2022 by Skein Press.
