    Father Declan's Uncanny Creatures (A Father Declan Supernatural Mystery, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
    Uncanny Creatures in Father Declan's Supernatural Mysteries Franciscan Father Declan O'Shea, with his spiritual gift of Insight, has encountered a variety of supernatural beings. His ministry of reconciliation and setting captives free most often involves releasing earthbound spirits. But sometimes, the Irish friar finds himself assisting souls of an entirely different sort. In this collection of six long-form short stories previously published individually, Father Declan helps a curmudgeonly leprechaun rescue a kidnapped kinsman, repels an invasion of malodorous peat faeries, finds himself and his pagan companion Morgan Delaney swarmed by zombie ghost rats, gets a little "gruff" with a Norwegian bridge troll, engages in silly spiritual warfare with mischievous Christmas imps, and helps tame a distraught werewolf. The Father Declan stories are always upbeat and redemptive. Some are humorous, and others mildly horrific.
