Tales of Darkisle

'My kind of book.' R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps
Sent home from school early for troublemaking, 11-year-old Conn hangs out at UCD's National Folklore Collection while his Aunt Doireann finishes up her work.
When he spots a case marked 'hazardous', Conn just can't stop himself from lifting the lid ... Inside lies the ancient skull of the Abhartach - an undead sorcerer of terrible might - and Conn has just set his spirit free.
Can he defeat the monstrous mind-controlling Abhartach before he regains his full power?
