The Twilight Hour: Celtic Visions From The Past

Since the dawn of time all civilisations have believed in ghosts and the supernatural in some form or other. For the ancient Celts our world was not the only level of existence, another realm of demons and ghosts was always close to the surface of reality, and this "otherworld" was therefore very real to them. This intermingling of physical and supernatural spheres was reflected by the twilight; the light of day and dark of night, a time they believed when our earthly spirit was in danger of crossing over into this haunted domain.

These arcane beliefs are deeply embedded in the subconscious of this mysterious, poetic race and in 'The Twilight Hour' Simon Marsden, a master of atmospheric, gothic images, has chosen extracts from the fantasy works of many of their literary geniuses illustrating them with his own haunting photographs.

'The Twilight Hour' has also been made into a feature film.
