Sue was awarded by CCI and Music Network to do a month-long residency at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris in 2023. There, she developed a collection of songs inspired by short stories of the Gothic genre. The songs look at themes of cats, hauntings, witches, isolation, renewal and empowerment and uncover the role of gender, nature, music and the setting of atmosphere in the gothic short story.
The music is composed by Sue Rynhart and includes folk songs, and the accompaniments are arranged by Huw Warren. The music is performed by Sue Rynhart (voice), Huw Warren (piano) and Dan Bodwell (double bass).

“ Back at Galway Jazz Festival, award winning pianist extraordinaire Huw Warren met rising young vocalist Sue Rynhart and they decided to jam and see what happened. Well what happened is a slew of originals, re-thinkings, strange wonderful takes on Alban Berg, traditional Irish song and more. ”
