The Selkie Bride
“(“The Lament of Ian Garbh”) Lachlan was gone—without the damned heart but with more angry words from me, though he couldn’t hear them, being long vanished—and I fi nally had my bath and then went to bed to sulk and read. The wind and rain held a carnival outside, complete with bright lights and what I swear was the distant sound of a calliope that rang out from the Bearlach nam Cu—the pass of the hound. Though sensible people would say it was just the screaming of frightened seabirds or seals, ...I did not believe this, and it was with some difficulty that I finally put out the lamp and drifted to sleep.
That night I dreamed, which was not uncommon, but it was a sleeping vision like no other. No dream or nightmare has ever felt as real to me, and I came awake with the alarmed conviction that I had experienced some kind of unnatural prescience brought on by Lachlan’s bite. It was through him that I saw into another frightening world. In my dream I stood before the faerie mound, facing the corpse candle that still burned there.MoreLess
