This is a turnip that my daughter carved last Halloween. Time has ravaged his once youthful turnipiness and revealed his true soul. [Toothpicks for teeth].

Book 2 of Frost Zone Stories arrived today from @frostzonestories.bsky.social. Full of chilling tales to lead us into the spooky season. I love the skeleton girl pointing the way.

Ahoy, fans of Irish folk horror, my novel, Country Roads is part of the Narrates indie book sale. A measly dollar is all you'll pay and it seems to have gone on sale early.

I have nicer ears than him for starters, but I really like him as an actor.

OK, maybe Ellen Datlow's Recommendations List for Best Horror of the Year is a long list, but I'm still going to boast about being on it. Twice! And... both these stories will be in my debut collection, The Darkness Drops Again, next year.

If anyone fancies some Irish horror, my novel Country Roads has its price slashed for a short while as part of a promo. Here's a picture of a spooky Irish road to tempt you www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7769HVJ

At the equinox in Co. Meath, we climb Slieve Na Calliagh to make human sacrifice to our Sun God. Then we come back down for apple tart and hot chocolate.

Tonight driving home. There's an empty car on the road behind me, tracks of blood on the ground and I can hear something feeding on the other side of the ditch. Don't go outside alone.

When I drove past this tree, there was something hanging from a branch that wasn't a rag or a sock or a glove. It had fingers and blood. Don't go outside alone.

It's around the time of year that Country Roads is set. I can hear evil laughter in the fields. Don't go outside alone.
