The Traveller and Other Stories
ByPublisher Description
A darkly glittering collection of Northern Irish noir by Stuart Neville, Los Angeles Times Book Prize–winning author
Since his debut novel, the modern classic The Ghosts of Belfast, was published a decade ago, Stuart Neville has written nine other critically acclaimed novels and achieved international recognition as one of crime fiction’s great living writers.
Now for the first time Neville offers readers a collection of his short fiction—twelve chilling stories that traverse and blend the genres of noir, horror, and speculative fiction, and which bring the history and lore of Neville’s native Northern Ireland to life. The Traveller concludes with the long-awaited eponymous novella, the companion piece to The Ghosts of Belfast and Collusion.
Complete with a foreword from Irish crime fiction legend John Connolly, this volume is the perfect indulgence for fans of ghost stories and noir, and is a must-have for devotees of Neville’s prizewinning Belfast novels.

“Short stories aren’t my cup of tea. They begin without context and just when I’m getting the hang of the characters and plot, it ends”

“Stuart Neville wrote one of the best debuts I have ever read with The Twelve/ The Ghosts of Belfast. In this book of short stories, some of them delve again into the lives of Gerry And Jack and some loose ends are tied up. The other stories are great, quite dark and some verge on horror, each a masterpiece in itself. My favourite, apart from the novella The Traveller, is the first story about the little boy waiting at the ferry for his mother to return home.
For those that have read The Twelve and wondered what happened to Jack and his daughter, The Traveller brings them together again with the ghost of Gerry and the Traveller, a killer for hire.
I loved this collection of stories and if you haven’t read The Twelve and the subsequent novels featuring Jack Lennon, then you are in for a real treat.
