Wow. Sorry for the delay. Lotsofstuffandstuff happening. Edits. Publicity on Koko Takes a Holiday. Really, do you want to know all this? Sheesh. Nothing much else to say, but lately I've been thinking about Peter Wessel Zapffe a whole lot...I think because I've been reading survival stories. To wit:
"Why, then, has mankind not long ago gone extinct during great epidemics
of madness? Why do only a fairly minor number of individuals perish
because they fail to endure the strain of living- because cognition
gives them more than they can carry? Cultural history, as well as
observation of ourselves and others, allow the following answer: Most
people learn to save themselves by artificially limiting the content of
consciousness."

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.
