For those of you awaiting my new collection, word has come in that the book has arrived at the Cemetery Dance Publications warehouse and will be shipping this week.
From the CD Website:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Kealan Patrick Burke
Kealan Patrick Burke's first collection RAVENOUS GHOSTS was released in a very limited run, promptly sold out, and now commands high prices on the secondary market. We are very pleased to introduce you to the author's follow-up collection, an ambitious gathering of some of the tales for which he is best known.
The lonesome sound of a long forgotten train draws an old man to memories of a horrific past... A journalist makes the mistake of visiting a website where real-life executions are the order of the day... At the foot of an old tree, an insidious evil awaits two boys digging for treasure... A browbeaten salesman finds hope and a possible escape from the banality of his world when he returns home to find a fairytale beanstalk sprouting from his garden... A man resists the social pressure to quit smoking and puts himself at an unimaginable risk... A high school student accepts a dare to ask out the ugliest girl in school and enters a world of pain and violence... A bunch of barflies doomed to murder sinners get together for one last drink in a dying town...
These are some of the passengers, headed for a ride through the dark uncharted regions of the heart and mind, on a train unbound by any law but its own.
All Aboard The Number 121 to Pennsylvania.
There will be no stops.

This arrived in my mailbox today. I immediately sat down and read Peekers (I've been wanting to read it forever!).
Kealan, I have no idea what you were smoking when you wrote that story, but I want some. A very trippy tale that left me with the creepy-crawlies. Especially since from where I was reading I could look up our staircase, into the kitchen, and at the television.

Glad you liked it, Craig!
I wrote that in an hour (an hour before it was due, actually). Sat down at the table, looked up the stairs and saw the door standing ajar. Imagined what it would be like if a face slid into view. Creeped myself out. Then I imagined what it would be like if it was MY face, and creeped myself out even more.
You've seen the short movie Mark Steensland and Rick Hautala did of this, right?
