Do FBI Agents Dream of Available Sheep? 🤔

Writing folk horror requires you to be adept at coming up with catchy titles like SLEWFOOT or CUNNING FOLK or THE PINES or THOSE ODDLY DRESSED PEOPLE WHO HAVE CURIOUS RITUALS THAT YOU ASSUME ARE BENIGN UNTIL YOU END UP HEADBUTTED BY A GOAT RIGHT INTO A WICKER MAN’S CHESTHOLE

My agent gently rejecting a ten year old author pic of me while I still have books with a bald Dean Koontz on the back. Fine, here’s a new one.

Just finished this one by @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social Highly recommended, especially the audio read by Kealan. Isolation horror at its finest.

This is what got me into publishing. I organized a reading in Chicago for @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social at @bucketoblood.bsky.social and justified paying for it with my film nonprofit's grant money by asking him to curate a program of scary short films. And I asked @corinnehalbert.bsky.social 1/?

An event poster. At the top it says "South Side Projections and Bucket O'Blood Books & Records present indie author Kealan Patrick Burke. Reading + Signing + short horror film program, Sun, Jan 13, 6pm, Bucket O'Blood, 3182 N. Elston Ave. The image is a comic-style portrait of Burke, a skull, a skeleton pushing a baby carriage, and a deer skull.

Thanks for extending the invitation, both to the reading in Chicago, and to write the chapbook. I have very fond memories of the former and remain very proud of the latter :)

Thanks so much, Greg! I didn’t know it was Shawn’s birthday, but oddly enough this is what I’m reading as my first read of my 50th.

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!

Praise from Kealan Patrick Burke, for my forthcoming poetry, collection, offerings for ordinary gods. The quote reads this way: "Saturated with anger and sadness and everything in between, Offerings for Ordinary Gods is more than just a masterfully written collection of dark poetry.
It arrives like a hammer-strike to the heart and is proof positive that Ali Trotta is one of the premier talents of our generation."

Fun fact: Before AI, writers had to buy their em dashes at a crystal shop and snap them in half to make them work.

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.
