Damien Kelly is a social sciences lecturer and writer from the northwest of Ireland, where windswept, stony landscapes inform the folk and gothic horror he prefers to write. His short stories have previously appeared in a variety of places, and this year can be found in two anthologies from Flame Tree Press and the inaugural issue of Sci-Fi Ireland magazine. An Irish folk horror novella, “Ullaloo” is being released by PS Publishing this year as well, as part of their Absinthe imprint. You can find him on Bluesky, Threads or Instagram by searching for Damosays or find everything you never knew you wanted to know at damienkellyauthor.com, including how to get a free book of Damien’s previously published work.
