Blog postAn unexpected pleasure arrived in the mail today – the Portuguese translation of the Cursed anthology, edited by Marie O’Regan and Paul Kane. My story ‘Faith & Fred’ is in it.
This lush hardback edition by Brazilian publisher Trama is a beauty!
Black pages with white print – it’s like reading a book in dark mode! I love it.
Huge thanks to Marie & Paul and to the team at Trama for creating such a delicious book, and to Ulisses Teixeira for the translation.

Blog postThanks to editor Colin sullivan for choosing my story ‘Life Pay‘ for the Futures section of Nature magazine, which has a cool accompanying image by Jacey.
You can read it online now, along with a few thoughts from me about the influences that helped shape the story.
Futures stories must be short, so it’s a fast read.

Blog postThe International Literature Festival of Dublin is taking place in our capital city from 19-29 May and it’s always a wonderful festival with a wide variety of fascinating events for people to attend.
This year I’ll be part of a conversation with debut novelist and medievalist Finn Longman, on ‘The Dark Side’, where we’ll be pondering the answer to such questions as ‘Why do we love a good fright? And why do horror stories haunt us the way they do?’

Blog postJust a short drive from my house is the magnificent Thoor Ballylee, a magical Norman tower in which William Butler Yeats and his wife Georgie Hyde-Lees lived together. Here’s one of the photos I’ve taken over the years:
The Yeats Thoor Ballylee Society is organising two fundraising events tomorrow (Bealtaine’s Eve) with all proceeds going to Ukrainian Refugees in Ireland. Not only can you support people in need but you can also enjoy it in a sublime setting.

Blog postPoetry Ireland‘s terrific annual event, Poetry Day Ireland, is taking place today with events happening all over the country, and virtually!
The theme this year is ‘Written in the Stars’, which suits me very well.
I’ll be reading a couple of poems, alongside other local poets, at an event in the Town Hall in Gort at 7pm known as ‘Inside Under the Stars’.
This is being sponsored by a trio of local arts groups: the Iontach Creative Collective, Poetry in the Park, and the -
Blog postTomorrow at 10:30 I’ll be part of a virtual discussion on the Folk Horror Film tradition, organised by Middlesex University Dubai.
We’ll be chatting folk horror cinema, along with a nod to Nigel Kneale as it’s the 100th anniversary of his birth this year.
My fellow panellists are Jon Dear, Tracy Fahey and Kim Newman – I’m sure our 50-minute conversation will only allow us to skim the surface of this fascinating genre.
And I promise there won’t be an immolation or a rit -

Blog postHello, from a windswept and soggy Galway, a wild beginning to a New Year! How are you doing?
I’ve just sent out an Irregular Thoughts newsletter to my subscribers (please feel free to join them!), and it’s shocking to realise that it’s been a year since I sent one. The current edition (lucky 13) is a summary of what I’ve been up to over the last twelve months for those who don’t have the time to keep track of me via Twitter or Instagram – and who can keep up with all this news hurtlin -
