Dead of Winter
Acerca deste libro electrónico
It’s there in the yard, in the faces of the snowmen a young boy doesn’t remember building.
It’s in the oddly empty streets below Santa Claus’s crumbling sleigh.
It’s in the unnatural movement of the snow that suffocates a widower’s town, and in the cold eyes of a lonely man’s estranged children.
Here, there is no holiday cheer, only spine-chilling fear, in the DEAD OF WINTER.
Featuring seven stories, an introduction by the author, and a list of recommended books for the winter season.
Acerca do autor
Hailed by Booklist as “one of the most clever and original talents in contemporary horror,” Kealan Patrick Burke was born and raised in Ireland and emigrated to the United States a few weeks before 9/11. Since then, he has written five novels, among them the popular southern gothic slasher Kin, and over two hundred short stories and novellas, including Blanky and The House on Abigail Lane, both of which are currently in development for film and TV.
A five-time Bram Stoker Award-nominee, Burke won the award in 2005 for his coming-of-age novella The Turtle Boy, the first book in the acclaimed Timmy Quinn series.
As editor, he helmed the anthologies Night Visions 12, Taverns of the Dead, and Quietly Now, a tribute anthology to one of Burke’s influences, the late Charles L. Grant.
Most recently, he completed a new novel, Mr. Stitch, a collection of novellas entitled Guests for Suntup Editions, and adapted Sour Candy as a graphic novel for John Carpenter's Night Terrors.
Kealan is represented by Merrilee Heifetz at Writers House and Kassie Evashevski at Anonymous Content.
He lives in an unhaunted house in Ohio with a Scooby Doo lookalike rescue named Red.
