KIERAN SHEA: David Z.

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.

David Z.

About a year or so ago I included David Zeltserman's SMALL CRIMES in my list of must reads, adding comments about Mr. Z's mastery of soul crushing noir and something to the effect of "f*** your darkest hour." A few days ago super-pimp David Cranmer pinged me about Mr. Zeltserman's latest short "King" on BEAT TO A PULP. Get some here.
