The Shortest Day | Colm Tóibín

This is a cool little short story about an archaeologist studying Brú na Bóinne and the spirits that haunt/live in the ancient temple. It was a fun little listen for the winter solstice for fans of archaeology, Irish history, and not so spooky ghost stories.

Although strictly speaking, this is the longest day since Jakarta is in the Southern Hemisphere, it's still psychologically the shortest day to me, since the length of the day only varies by about 40 minutes over the course of the year and so is not really noticeable.
