My short-story collection Fear itself is out, at last!

Psst! I'm beyond excited to announce that my short-story collection Fear itself is out, at last! You can find it available on amazon and from ordering through indie bookstores and on the Lethe Press website. 

Fear Itself is a special blend of mainly horror, with a soupçon of fantasy and sci-fi. It includes nine stories in all, a ghost novelette, and story notes. Many of the stories are near and dear to me, written over the years, with some, such as the novelette, "A Canadian Ghost in London", first drafted whilst I lived in London, England back in 1998.

I am grateful to the fine work of U.S. publisher Lethe Press, which really is veteran accomplished writer and editor Steve Berman.

I have included some story descriptions on my blog somewhat recently, but this more-than-generous advance review from Publishers Weekly does a great job of describing it.

“The ten unsettling tales of Moran’s debut collection ably live up to the title, featuring monsters that will haunt nightmares. In “Glimpses Through the Trees,” a creature visible only out of the corner of one’s eye chases a couple as they desperately drive away. Terrifying whispers come from a couple’s baby monitor as they adjust to new parenthood in “Monitored.” Technology again serves as a vehicle for fright in “Burned,” in which an entity murders through digital video. Some of the stories are less immediately scary, including “Carl and Monty’s Prairie Wager,” a voicey take on a classic zombie story, and “Living Under the Conditions,” which presents a not quite apocalyptic scenario in which gravity and time fluctuate wildly. The collection ends on a high note, with the moving ghost story “A Canadian Ghost in London,” which explores love, loss, grief, and letting go. Incorporating cosmic horror, Indigenous legend, and B-movie monsters, there’s something here to please any horror fan. Incorporating cosmic horror, Indigenous legend, and B-movie monsters, there’s something here to please any horror fan.”
