As I am a huge fan of Kealan Patrick Burke, I pre-ordered this novel as soon as I heard about it. Unfortunately my review schedule has been full & it took me until now to actually read it. Because I'm a dumbass. Full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social #booksky
Immensely pleased to have my humble story "Au Revoir" appear alongside such a mad roster of talent in THE SHINING-inspired anthology VIEWS FROM THE OVERLOOK, edited by Jamie Flanagan.
I have been extremely lucky to get blurbs from some wonderful humans. Grateful to @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social for this one!
Fun fact: Before AI, writers had to buy their em dashes at a crystal shop and snap them in half to make them work.
Delighted to be part of this killer series.
Shortwave Publishing@shortwavebooks.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe 12th Killer VHS book will be... NIGHTLIGHTS FOR EYES by @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social! Best described as THE EVIL DEAD by way of Dario Argento, NIGHTLIGHTS FOR EYES is an affectionate throwback to the horror films of the '80s by Bram Stoker Award-winning author Kealan Patrick Burke.
It’s my recommendation that if you are a horror genre enthusiast, these two indie authors are worthy of their own shelf-space collection. @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social & @paperbacksandpugs.bsky.social consistent 5 star horror books and accessible for all!

Sincere gratitude to everyone who bought THE WIDOWS OF WINDING GALE in paperback and/or audiobook. It’s my bestselling title since SOUR CANDY and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive so far, so thanks for spending some time with me on my accursed Irish island.
THE WIDOWS OF WINDING GALE audiobook, read by me, is now available on Audible and should be available on iTunes and other platforms in the next 48 hours or so, if it isn't already. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GXHT5P6Z

Rock Capuano@rockcapuano.bsky.social · 5mo agoRecent Media: Audiobook WITHERED HILL by David Barnett @davidmbarnett.bsky.social (2024) Brilliant folk horror with non-linear (or is it?) storytelling. If you’re like me and love those “comes full circle” connections, then you’ll love this one too. Highly…highly recommended! 1/2
Today’s forecast is for severe fog and the appearance of sea creatures and ghost ships off the shores of Winding Gale. Residents are advised to shelter in place…or fight back. Available in print and digital, with an audiobook (narrated by me) to follow in a few weeks. Link in my profile. 🧜♀️

Delighted to see John and Sandy King Carpenter’s TALES FOR A HALLOWEEN NIGHT, VOL. 11 on the list for this year’s Bram Stoker Award. In addition to an insane roster of talent, this issue features my story “The Second Hand”, adapted by me with art by Jason Shawn Alexander.
For twenty years, readers have asked me to consider narrating my own audiobooks, but as most of those books were set in America and my American accent sounds like I’m being strangled, it didn’t make much sense. My new one is set in Ireland. So here we go.
