BIO

KIERAN SHEA’s fiction has appeared in dozens of venues including Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Thuglit, Dogmatika, Word Riot, Plots with Guns, Beat to a Pulp, Crimefactory, and Needle: A Magazine of Noir ...as well as in some beefy-looking anthologies most of which will make you question the tether of his shiny, red balloon. To his self-deprecating astonishment he's also been nominated for the Story South’s Million Writers Award twice without sending the judges so much as a thank you note. He co-edited the satiric transgressive fiction collection D*CKED: DARK FICTION INSPIRED BY DICK CHENEY and his debut novel KOKO TAKES A HOLIDAY is out now from Titan Books. Kieran divides his time between 38°58′22.6″N- 76°30′4.17″W and 39.2775° N, 74.5750° W.

Somewhere Near Det-riot (Detroit) There Lives A Madman

I thought I didn't read the message correctly. It was gone and now it's back? Bryon Quertermous tinkering with the dynamite. DEMOLITION. One of the first to pound a stake in the earth of online noir. The archives are impressive if you can find them. Meat from the likes of Stella, Gischler, and Bruen. One of the first joints to take a tale from me-- "Disposal" which I later sent to A Twist of Noir after Bryon pulled the plug on the original Demolition site nearly four years ago. Four years, Bryon? Has it been that long? Gosh almighty. Stripped down, lean and mean...cool.
