A Künstlerroman by British contemporary artist Sue Webster, which combines personal memoir with an exploration of the ongoing influence of youth, music, and Siouxsie and the Banshees on her life and work. Emanating from a poignant unpacking of objects and memories--which Webster has turned into a private exhibition to coincide with the publica-tion--this book positions the Banshees and the artist herself alongside visual references to everyone from David Bowie and the Sex Pistols to William Burroughs and Salvador Dalí--using the Banshees and the punk scene amid which she grew up as an entry point to reflect on the cultural and personal evolutions of the last decades. More than 300 illustrations combine ephemera with artwork and reveal the connection between influence and art: objects documenting her fanaticism of the Banshees, from record covers and photographs to ticket stubs and lyrics; paraphernalia from books, artists, and cultural figures that relate to the Banshees and that world of 1970s and early 1980s post-punk; personal effects from diary pages to unseen photographs; and selected artworks by Sue Webster and longtime partner Tim Noble.

Team DEVIL will do anything to protect Elinor—especially Alfarin, the bighearted Viking prince who loves her. But the only way to save her is to find The Devil’s wife—a banshee who has concealed herself somewhere within the Nine Circles of Hell. In Team DEVIL’s third quest, narrated hilariously and poignantly by Prince Alfarin, the four friends brave Dante’s old stomping grounds for an adventure they’ll never forget . . . if their dead souls can survive it.

The Banshees of Inisherin is a short story written by John Millington Synge. The story is set in a small island called Inisherin, located off the western coast of Ireland. The story revolves around two old women who are believed to be banshees by the locals. The two women, who were sisters, lived in an old cottage on the island. Despite their age, they were still considered to be fierce and powerful beings by the locals. The villagers would often approach the sisters for their blessings or to ask for their help in solving their problems. The story describes the daily routine of the two sisters, who are called Mary and Nora. The two women would spend their days knitting or tending to their small garden. However, they were believed to have special powers, and the villagers feared them. This fear was further heightened when a young boy mysteriously disappeared from the island, and the sisters were blamed for it. Despite this, the sisters continued with their routine, unaffected by the accusations. However, the story takes a dark turn towards the end, when the sisters reveal their true identity and intentions, leaving the readers with a sense of unease and mystery.
