This week, while searching for horror authors in Northern Ireland (I am a voracious reader as well as a writer, and I am always on the lookout for more local horror) I discovered something interesting. I came up first on the Google search. Hooray! Happy Dance. Scratch that…spooky dance is more apt.

The two articles that also appeared as the top two hits are also press about my second most popular novel, The Blue Man.

What does this mean for me? Well, I have already read my own books (lol) so my search for other horror books in Northern Ireland continues. I have read a few fabulous Northern Irish Indie authors, the paranormal and psychological thriller author, Amanda Sheridan being my favourite, and I am always eager to expand my list. Jaime Stewart is another local horror author I enjoy – despite the shared surname, we are not related.

If you know of any other Northern Irish or Irish horror books, or are indeed a local horror author, feel free to comment below. I like ghost and psychological novels best, but I’m a willing reader of other kinds of horror too. Surprise me. Scare me. I can take it!
