The Call is a short story written by Peadar O'Guilin. It is narrated by Amy Shiels who weaves terror and suspense in the background of a crumbling Gaelic village in Ireland during 1978. When Rory, a young boy, goes missing, his grandfather, Manus, pursues him throughout the night with a desperate search that culminates in a terrifying revelation.

In the Call, Peadar O'guilin, a young Irish Catholic boy who is all set to enter the priesthood, begins to hear a voice in his head telling him not to do what he's doing. The voice tells him that he'll be betraying God and the church if he enters. He knows this voice is not God but no one will believe him and so he doesn't tell anyone about it for many years.

The Call is a book written by Peadar O'guilin and narrated by Amy Shiels. It tells the story of Brian, a young man who travels to Ireland and has a vision that leads him to find his life's path and purpose. The book paints a rich picture of Ireland through the eyes of an outsider, first detailing the history behind the island, then sharing stories from the days when W.B. Yeats walked its streets, and finally offering up advice on how to live with more meaning in your own life.

The Call revolves around the life of a young woman named Saoirse who has just been released from a mental institution and is struggling to find her way back to normal. As she tells the story of how she ended up in a psychiatric hospital, we come to see that what makes her story particularly tragic is not so much the event itself but rather the circumstances under which it happens.

Chaos has engulfed the streets of Dublin. Seamus and his fellow members of the IRA have decided to take matters into their own hands after recent events with British troops in the city. They are aware that the British government is planning to use chemical weapons on Irish civilians but they don't know when or where this attack will happen. The decision is made to ask for help from the Soviets who have stationed a nuclear missile on Irish soil ready to retaliate in case of an invasion. So, they send Brian Kinney, a Soviet spy posing as a priest who is on vacation in Ireland, to request that they disarm it.
