Joyrides For Shut-Ins

Experience the dark and twisted world of American absurdist literature in this collection of stories that will leave you both perplexed and entertained.

From micro-fiction to short stories, each piece delves into the encounters, desires, and violence that make up the fabric of American culture and psyche. Meet characters who are both familiar and bizarre, as they navigate a world that blurs the lines between imagination and reality.

Fans of Samuel Beckett, Lydia Davis, and Chuck Palahniuk will find themselves immersed in this kaleidoscope of dead-pan incidents, where nothing is quite as it seems.

But be warned, as you turn each page, you may find yourself questioning your own grasp on reality.

Don't miss out on this masterful chiaroscuro of a book.

Name your price now!

How to Design Your Cover’s Bac...

I was writing a wee serial on substack before I abandoned the platform, but I also abandoned the story.
Here, rising from the ashes... A pair of witches!

“Succumb to my devil vagina magic!” Shouted the naked woman as she ran down the street, the wind and rain not bothering her at all.

The suited guy she was chasing ran like his life depended on it. It didn’t, but he didn’t know that."

From the British Fantasy Society:

The ever-prolific Tracy Fahey is readying her second of three releases this year. Following on from Queens of the Crone Age, the acclaimed Irish author claims the 42nd entry in the Black Shuck’s Shadows series — and it’s a little different from her usual fare. She tells us more about her first collection of crime and noir stories.

Preorder my new book The Unnamed: A Collection of Short Stories from the Greenland Diaries While Supplies Last

My new short story collection is up and available for preorder on my Square Store. I’m opening preorders pretty early since I don’t know how many copies I’ll have for my first run and this is the best way for you to get a paperback before I go through them at my six different October events. So yeah, supply will be very limited.

The Unnamed is $15 and I’ll ship it to you for FREE. It will be signed, doodled, and personalized. This is a fantastic book, and a must have if you’ve been reading the Greenland Diaries for the last ten years. These monsters are incredible. This collection is the spotlight they so richly deserve.

Cover and description below:

A Collection of Short Stories from the Greenland Diaries

Before the Drum, during it, within the shadow of its destruction, and decades after its absence; experience a vast collection of short stories from this apocalyptic horror universe.

A strange earthquake below a refinery, a series of grave robberies in a Saint Paul graveyard, a mysterious light in a rural slaughterhouse, a monster reborn in a gravel pit, a tour guide lamenting a journey through the Jade, and the Unnamed finding new purposes without the demonic Drum.

Enjoy a true variety of tales about the vibrant and unique monsters from the Greenland Diaries.

A mixture of violence and melancholy, these agents of the apocalypse will no doubt make you wonder about their existence and meaning long after the final story ends.

Hit it here to Preorder Your Copy of the Unnamed While Supplies Last
