Synopsis

Dare to cross the threshold. The strange side is waiting. What happens when the line between the ordinary and the supernatural dissolves? In Stories from the Strange Side, occultist and storyteller Josephine McCarthy (formerly Josephine Dunne) invites readers into a world where the mystical meets the mundane—and nothing is ever quite what it seems. This genre-defying collection weaves psychological insight with esoteric knowledge, spiritual wisdom and a sense of the eerie. Whether it’s metaphysical mystery, subtle magic realism, or supernatural surprise, these magical stories are bound together by McCarthy’s masterful voice: atmospheric, razor-sharp, and rich with the arcane knowledge for which she is renowned. While these lively tales are entertaining in and of themselves, they also convey a deeper perspective to those willing to look.
