Halloween is here! If you’re a fan of all things spooky, as I am, then I’m sure you have some fun plans for this ghostly season.

Occult reads are always part of the seasonal fun for me. Here are a few of my own occult fiction reads that are perfect for Samhain.

From most recently published, they are:

Matthew’s Twin (2023)

Book 3 of my Belfast Ghosts trilogy features medieval spirits, witchcraft and a revenge plot spanning 700 years. After enduring traumatic stomach surgery, who is the mysterious man tormenting Matthew in the present?

Diabolical Dreamscapes (2023)

A collection of hallucinatory short stories featuring corpses fated to walk the earth, surreal tales of the afterlife and dreamlike journeys through the mind as the characters face their darkness, demons and depression.

The Fairy Lights (2022)

Book 2 of my Belfast Ghosts trilogy sees Aisling undertake a psychedelic journey through the spirit realms – the seven astral planes of existence – in order to save the soul of the man who had been haunting her house. Guided by a psychic medium, she finds the soul she loves, and learns more about her past, along the way.

The Blue Man (2022)

Book 1 of my Belfast Ghosts trilogy follows frenemies, Megan and Sabrina, dealing with a curse they unleashed twenty years ago. As the terrifying urban legend of the Blue Man proves to be true, how can the new mothers make sure he doesn’t come for their families?

Gods of Avalon Road (2019)

My debut novel is set on Mayday, and although not horror, is a paranormal romance that is perfect for Samhain too. Unwitting Kerry and Gavin are tricked by their eccentric boss into an occult pagan ritual that resurrects ancient Celtic gods into modern London.
