The Indigo Hours

"There is something otherworldly about nightwalking. Something that makes you see the world differently." — Shane O'Mara

O'Mara's is a recent response to walking the dark, which means anytime between the hours of dusk and approaching dawn; be it rural or urban, or places elsewhere. But it's a sentiment that stretches right back in time, as readers will discover in the pages of The Indigo Hours, where voices celebratory and cautionary say the same. Fifty-plus voices collected from memoirs and journals, letters and travelogues, from Jean Paul, Leigh Hunt, and Thomas De Quincey to a host of contemporary writers including Mary Morris, Colm Tóibín, and Joanna Kavenna.
