    Dead Seasons Series

    By Kealan Patrick Burke

    About this series

    Winter isn't coming…it's already here, and with it comes a horror no door can keep out.

    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.

    Author

    Kealan Patrick Burke

    Born and raised in a small harbor town in the south of Ireland, Kealan Patrick Burke knew from a very early age that he was going to be a horror writer. The combination of an ancient locale, a horror-loving mother, and a family full of storytellers, made it inevitable that he would end up telling stories for a living. Since those formative years, he has written five novels, over a hundred short stories, six collections, and edited four acclaimed anthologies. In 2004, he was honored with the Bram Stoker Award for his novella The Turtle Boy. Kealan has worked as a waiter, a drama teacher, a mapmaker, a security guard, an assembly-line worker at Apple Computers, a salesman (for a day), a bartender, landscape gardener, vocalist in a grunge band, curriculum content editor, fiction editor at Gothic.net, and, most recently, a fraud investigator. When not writing, Kealan designs book covers  through his company Elderlemon Design. A movie based on his short story "Peekers" is currently in development as a major motion picture.
