Dan Eady Author

Just finished #KingSorrow What Joe Hill has achieved with this book is equal parts deft, bold, wholesome and sheer insanity.
When you break it down these almost semi contained stories are great on their own but as a complete work, its utterly stunning
10/5 would read again !!!

Bob Thompson Feeds the Fire by Dan Eady Mathematically, Bob had this equation well worked out in his head. But as he stands surveying the mess in his wood shed, something has gone amiss.  It is highly likely it’s the body wrap…

Excited that I’ll have new short story out later this week
In “Bob Thompson Feeds The Fire” Bob Thompson faces the grim task of disposing of a "top hit" gang leader, a problem far more complex than the "Jim-Nobodys" he's used to.
It’s my attempt at injecting some Coen-esque dark humour into a story

Cryptid Cocktail Party is fun

LOVED Coffin Moon!! This one is bleak, violent but at its cracked and ancient heart is something special, something unique in the world of vampire fiction, where there is no glitter and everything is filthy and broken.

Such a legendary frontman

My entire personality right now is just listening to Death’s “Symbolic” album on repeat

I have to stop checking my emails while eating breakfast
“Breakfast and rejection” is a catchy title though!!

Another day - another rejection email #WriterSky

It was dizzying, confusing and ambitious - did it all come together and make sense? Not really but I enjoyed the journey.
Only criticism would be, some parts really felt like The Stand fan fiction, but - who doesn’t want to be as cool as their dad sometimes…?

Finally knocked this big bastard off after starting it over a year ago, but really wanted to finish it before I read King Sorrow.
The funny part is I read the last two thirds over two days.

It's Monday, so here are some horror affirmations to get you pumped and ready to work...

Live, laugh, slaughter them all.
You are unique...and utterly horrifying.
You are worthy...of not getting caught.
You are enough...cosmic horror to drive anyone insane.

Have a great week, everyone! 🖤

Thanks for the update, I am yet to receive a rejection so that seems hopeful…!
