An Ancient Irish Curse | The Fires and the Shadows by W B Yeats | Audio...

There is a moment at night when firelight stops feeling warm.

The Curse of the Fires and of the Shadows by William Butler Yeats is not a story meant to frighten quickly. It settles. It waits. It watches. Rooted in Irish folklore and old-world superstition, this tale carries the weight of ancestral memory, spoken curses, and shadows that seem to listen when the flames begin to fade.

Yeats draws from a world where fire is protection, shadows are warnings, and certain names are never spoken aloud. The horror here is quiet, patient, and deeply human. It moves through whispered traditions, half-remembered legends, and the uneasy feeling that something ancient is still close, just beyond the reach of the light.

This full audiobook presentation is designed for immersive listening. Let the pauses linger. Let the silence breathe. The story works best when the room is dark and nothing interrupts it.

This is not a jump-scare tale.

It is a story that stays after the fire goes out.

🎧 Headphones recommended. Low light encouraged.

Ideal for listeners who enjoy traditional English ghost stories, folklore-based hauntings, and horror that feels documented rather than invented.
