WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE OF THE EMERALD ISLE… In Kevin J. Kennedy’s Horror Tales from Ireland, five masterful storytellers—Kealan Patrick Burke, Leigh Kenny, Colin Leonard, Seán O’Connor, and Alexander Moore—delve into the grim and the ghostly, dragging ancient terrors and modern nightmares into the light. Inside these pages, famine breeds cannibalism, weddings are haunting, and zombies rise on cursed land. Dark deeds fester in quiet villages. This is Ireland as you’ve never seen it—moody, misty, and merciless. Each tale brings a unique and disturbing vision of Ireland, where beauty and horror walk hand in hand. Whether rooted in folklore, twisted history, or grim modernity, Horror Tales from Ireland is a must-read for fans of atmospheric, character-driven horror with a Celtic bite. Prepare to lose sleep—and maybe your soul.
Authors

Born and raised in a small harbor town in the south of Ireland, Kealan Patrick Burke knew from a very early age that he was going to be a horror writer. The combination of an ancient locale, a horror-loving mother, and a family full of storytellers, made it inevitable that he would end up telling stories for a living. Since those formative years, he has written five novels, over a hundred short stories, six collections, and edited four acclaimed anthologies. In 2004, he was honored with the Bram Stoker Award for his novella The Turtle Boy. Kealan has worked as a waiter, a drama teacher, a mapmaker, a security guard, an assembly-line worker at Apple Computers, a salesman (for a day), a bartender, landscape gardener, vocalist in a grunge band, curriculum content editor, fiction editor at Gothic.net, and, most recently, a fraud investigator. When not writing, Kealan designs book covers through his company Elderlemon Design. A movie based on his short story "Peekers" is currently in development as a major motion picture. Represented by Merrilee Heifetz at Writers House Agency.
