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. 🧜‍♀️

Vintage Books just dropped the cover for next summer’s visit to the The Overlook Hotel, edited by the always amazing @jamieflanagan.com, who was kind enough to let me occupy one of @stephenking.bsky.social’s rooms despite the place already being packed to the rafters with insane talent.

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

Just finished this wonderful book. BUY IT!

It took me a little while to get round to @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social's 'Currency of Souls', don't leave it as long as I did - it's an amazing read 👍 lordsamperlibrary.blogspot.com/2026/08/curr...

It's a triply terrific high horror holy day with the birthdays of horror greats SA Cosby (@blacktopkid.bsky.social), @nadiabulkin.bsky.social, and @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social! Happy birthday to all, and thanks for the terrifying tales!

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.

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!

For a limited time, I'm offering a discount on all premade covers. Check out my design site here, and if something catches your eye, feel free to DM me. Thanks! www.elderlemondesign.net/premade-covers #books #coverdesign #horror #coverdesign

Delighted to have my story “The Power of Chris Compels You” included in this upcoming possession anthology from Nick Roberts.

Just posted for Substack subscribers “Attaboy”, a deeply unsettling and deeply personal short story, written in the throes of grief. kealanpatrickburke.substack.com/p/attaboy

Free chapter from COTTONMOUTH, my southern gothic thriller, and prequel to KIN. open.substack.com/pub/kealanpa...

A little fragment of something from the vault in which over a million words of unfinished stories languish in the dark.

SOMETHING OF A CALLING has received its first blurb! It's a huge honor to get a blurb from as talented a horror author as @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social -- thank you so much! Coming 9/15 from @blackstonepub.bsky.social

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

Audiobook due to drop in ten days…

The 10th anniversary special edition hardback of The Making of Gabriel Davenport is live, created by the wonderful @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social Thank you to @nicoleeigener.bsky.social for the beautiful interior & to @sadiehartmann.bsky.social for her generous cover endorsement! #booksky

Almost forgot. Thank you to @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social for recommending this one. 🙌🐰🐷🐑🐦‍⬛🌳💀

@jonezyboy.bsky.social delivers another fantastic feature! Check out YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE MOVED IN: TOP RATED HAUNTED HOUSE NOVELS, PART 1. It features books by @thebestwick.bsky.social, @kendareblake.bsky.social, @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social, & more! #booksky www.horrordna.com/features/you...

Wrote a little something today about getting older, and who was really THE THING. kealanpatrickburke.substack.com/p/half-a-fec...

Andrew has narrated horror titles for authors such as @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social, Bentley Little, Brian Asman, and @gemmafiles.bsky.social. He is an AudioFile Earphones Award–winning (SIGNAL MOON by Kate Quinn) and Audie-nominated (THE GHOST SEQUENCES by @acwise.bsky.social) narrator... 2/3

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.

Build your TBR! @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social @v-e-tirado.com @kierstenwhite.bsky.social @sagemitchell.bsky.social @teaganoliviawrites.bsky.social @danielkraus.com @elizabethbroadbent.bsky.social @carlyblack.bsky.social @esdevecchiauthor.bsky.social

As someone that spent over 20 years in the Navy, I can truly say there are few things more isolating and terrifying than the raw power of the sea and what lives within its depths. Whether you are on the shores, an island, or a ship at sea these books are for you.
